I do the same. But instead of rsyncing every certain interval I have
the inotifywait utility watching the sync dirs for changes. Once a
change is detected (pretty much immediate) inotifywait exits and the
script enters the rsync loop which syncs the dirs to all the nodes, when
rsync is done the script is again blocked by inotify until a change is
detected.
#!/bin/sh
while true; do
inotifywait -r /var/www/web1 -r /var/www/web2 -e modify -e attrib -e
close_write -e move -e create -e delete -qq
# Optionally add a small sleep here to let the change be completed or
tweak the notifywait like to be less trigger happy
sleep 5....
do_rsync
done
You'd have to have Linux for that. On some other systems you can use
stuff like FAM.

We have some servers that are internal use only that are NFS mounted
and then the NFS server is rsync'd with the public facing servers
every 2 minutes.
