rdist is a good idea.  You can configure it to only update files that
are newer/different then those already in place.  This reduces the 
amount of stuff being duplicated on the secondary server.

man rdist

Hi,

I have one idea. First, you can make email forwarding to the two servers,
secondly, use rdist periodically sync the mail data.

Subject: [SunHELP] Email replication

Hi,
Can anyone suggest a way in which I can get real time email replication
to a second server?  Currently I have two external drives that hold the
data and twice daily I use mirrordir to copy the data from the original
to the backup drive, the problem here is that the backup data is
anywhere between 0 and 12 hours old.  I could run mirrordir more often
but what I want to do is have a separate server get a copy of any email
so in the case of a server failure the other machine can be brought up
as the original as seamless as possible....any ideas?
Thanks,
Shain
