Anyone used FileReplicationPro? I'm more interested in low
bandwidth, 'cheaper', replication.
Might work for an active-failover setup, but since I use active-active I
need something like DRBD instead.
Personally I wouldn't trust it for cluster type situations, and I kind
of doubt the authors would either though I could be wrong.
Certainly a great choice for backups though... Depending on your needs,
it might work for a failover node...
They claim to be real-time, and with kernel hooks into reads/writes,
it seems promising to run on top of the OS..

Maybe I should voice my assumption that a Maildir mailbox would only
be accessed from one server at a time, not both, and Dovecot indexes
would be local and not replicated. And I suppose I'm assuming small
files - which is probably the biggest hole in this active/active theory.
