Have you looked into using Unison via SSH? http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/

Then there is the possibility that a change could be made on each
server. One would be lost during the rsync. You can only do the rsync
in one direction at a time.
What I did in this situation is to run a script on the backup to rewrite
the majordomo list aliases to specifically point to the primary
machine. ie:
majordomo: majordomo@primary-mx.dom
listname: listname@primary-mx.dom
This would queue up any mail for majordomo or lists 'til the primary
came back online, but there was NO possiblilty of anything getting out
of sync.
