To create a cvs repository as a remote mirror, you will probably want to
use either
http://www.cvsup.org/
or
http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/
to transfer the files. You will still need to have write operations go
back to the primary server if you want them generally shared, but using
the CVS_LOCAL_BRANCH_NUM environment variable in conjunction with CVSup
would allow you to maintain a local branch remotely if that were useful.
If you use the latest cvs-1.12.10 sources, you may also specify triggers
on the primary server for all possible write operations to the repository
so that you could initiate a transfer of a commit to the primary to all
of your secondaries immediately.
With cvs-1.12.10 (or higher), there is also the ability to specify a
PrimaryServer in the CVSROOT/config file which would allow you to run
the remote mirror as a secondary for read operations as well as have all
:ext: connections be forwarded or redirected to the PrimaryServer.
