I wouldn't use it for large systems yet. It is still pretty inefficient. v2.2 will have a redesigned dsync that can do incremental syncs much faster and with less bandwidth. Anyway, in my small installation I'm using it in active-active mode and it works well enough. I've even configured my clients intentionally so that they use different servers.
