Hey Brian,
I'm doing something... "similar"
How often do you need it to sync up? Constantly? Only when an update occurs
(a manual process)? Scheduled intervals?
If you need the boxes to stay in perfect sync at all times and automated
process or end users (people using the site/app) add or change content on a
constant basis, there are two obvious choices.
1. All of the prod servers should share some disk space on a network
appliance, like a NAS or shared storage server
1. In this model, no copy is need as each server shares the same
space.
2. The risk is that if that shared resource goes down, all your
servers are down
2. Using some sort of syncing software
1. I don't have any recommendations, I've never found anything that
works really well...
If the content only changes when you deploy new "builds" to the server, then
I'd recommend using ANT (http://ant.apache.org/) to handle your deployments.
It's crazy easy to use and learn and it's super reliable. Setup a single
"build" process and it'll deliver your content to each server. If you are
interested in this route, let me know and i'll send you some sample code off
list.
It would also be helpful to know what platform you are running on so people
can make platform specific recommendations for syncing software.
