We use rsync for doing all our installation and mirroring, be it code or data. Very nice, and works over an SSH connection for security. It's native to *nix, but I believe there is a Windows port. We have a cron job that checks for updates on the master, and if there are any, it replicates everything to the slave servers. The one problem with it is that it touches ALL the files, even if they haven't been updated, which means recompiling everything. There's probably a flag to avoid that, but it hasn't been enough of an issue to go digging through the manpage.
