I did find Unison.  I just haven't seen any sign of it working
"automagically" in real-time yet... so far, what I've read implies that
it's a "Hit the button when you want to synch files" solution.  The fact
that there's a Windows distribution is a plus, since I'd be able to just
tell each NAS to synch its' live share(s) with the other.

I'm hoping to find something that will always have the backup a perfect
copy of the "live" share.  PeerSoftware.com has a product that will
supposedly do this... for $500 a copy.  I'm hoping there's a FOSS
solution before I write up another PO :-)
