Woah - you could save a lot of disk I/O with csync2.  :-)

To the op:

MogileFS, Amazon S3 or homegrown replication with csync2 are usually my advice for "don't keep everything in one place".

Squid or varnish are good for making slow storage faster.

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.
