That the kind of thing what I was thinking. We already use subversion to
keep
our libexec directories the same over (currently) 3 sites, and keep the
configs
Uptodate, but the var directory gets a nightly rsync to the backup
server.
If you want to do load balancing across nagios instances though, you
should
look at the full hog

For just a failover installation, are there any issues with
rsyncing the files from master to slave every minute?

Er, both servers are Nagios 3.0.5 running on CentOS 5.2,
sorry.

I'm setting Nagios up in a failover configuration like
is described in the documentation, with the primary server feeding check
results to the failover server via NSCA. That part's working fine, but
is there a good way to also keep host and service comments,
acknowledgements, and scheduled downtimes up-to-date as well?
