I'm building a system with 3 nodes across the country on dynamic dsl links (one of which may be intermitent and have 15% packet loss when up). since there is not much likelyhood any two sites will be in use at once (one person, multiple offices) I'm planning a daily rsync; but had wanted to do something more realtime. Any suggestions? // George -- George Georgalis, Admin/Architect cell: 646-331-2027 <IXOYE>< Linux Infrastructure, Security mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Services, Multimedia and Metrics. http://www.galis.org/george -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
