while I would do it with rsync (I know, depends on what you want to do),
I don't see any reason why ccd'ing two large nfs-exposed files shouldn't
work. But I think this would be more ugly and complicated than rsyncing

der Mouse released something last year that sounds for all the world
like it could be modified for use as a good filesystem failover
mechanism (obviously, this doesn't help the OP /now/):
overview: http://kerneltrap.org/node/5058
download: ftp://ftp.rodents.montreal.qc.ca/mouse/livebackup
Although it's based on a client/server architecture, a bit of
configuring could probably get it to work in a master/slave environment.
