    Replicating web folders across production servers

    Hi,

    We have several production machines serving our static content. I want an automatic operation where I would only need to upload to one of them and it will get replicated/mirrored to all machines.
    Either that or distribute automatically from local source to all machines. First option is obviously better since all machines reside on same LAN and remote to our office.

    Another feature I am looking for is to get a full report on what got transferred and if any problems occurred immediately (since usually these deployments can mean downtime for us).

    Looking around I saw rsync. Anything else? any better way to do so?
    Using CentOS 5.4-5.5 btw.

    Cheers,
    DB

    I would research and see if redhat.com | Red Hat Global File System trickled downstream into CentOS

    Sounds like a massive overkill no?

    well if that is "overkill" then you could always write a cronjob that executes every 5 minutes or so that runs rsync from the source machine to the destination
