We use rsync modules, hostname::modulename, extensively for things like this as they can restrict the remote host to specific directories, and IP address/CIDR block ranges without using ssh. For things like rsync dns updates of djbdns/tinydns data files, this can be done without encryption. Where the data is sensitive, doing the update over OpenVPN tunnels works nicely.
