The replicating is the easy part; Robocopy or even Xcopy can handle that part. You would just need some kind of directory watcher to kick it off.
I am assuming you are looking to control this with ColdFusion (since this is a ColdFusion mailing list). That said, Ray Camden posted an example of a directory watcher a while back and I'm sure it is still in the archives of this list and his blog. .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

I have been tasked recently with coming up with an automated deployment/file replication system for our newly built infrastructure. We have a hardware load balancer that spreads the traffic over 5 real servers. We are looking for a way to place the production web files and assets on a single server and let that server then "replicate" the files over to the other 4 servers instantly. Can anyone recommend software to accomplish this or just some best practices for this type of scenario? Thanks!
