What do you mean, _servers_ ??? So, you would likely _already_ have
ethernet
on each, so what's the beef ???

Serial link (or even parallel link for that matter) is _not_ going to
enable
you to respond "quickly", better use ethernet in that case. Will need
ethernet cards (if you don't already have those) but it's not all that
expensive (say 20$ for a couple of _new_ 10Mb ones, prices go down all
the way to zero if you can get _used_ ones).

Wouldn't mirror (or rsync) be better than nfs to replicate ?
