As others have said, NAS that's anything remotely affordable is slower than local drives. So I'd just use rsync to syncronize the data between systems. Thus, if you add something or change something on a "master" system, it would just get copied over to the others at night or something.
You might want to take this approach to the entire server config and not just the music files, (with distinct sync operations for the two of course).
Especially with identical hardware, you should be able to get an image of your OS and software install and use it for all of the servers. At upgrade time, you'd get to a new stable configuration and then distribute that image. Even if you didn't want to do this for the OS, it might make sense for the SS setup and config.
And if you don't want to roll your own, take a look at the LiveCD approach, "SlimCD".
