Re: AFS ... or equivalent ...

The server runs on FreeBSD as far as I know.  There is a client, and I think
it still builds if you apply Matt's patches, which are in the OpenAFS bug
tracking system.  But it doesn't run.  No one is actively maintaining the
FreeBSD port.

Unison keeps a list of files at each end and only exchanges block lists for
files that have changed.  I use it to sync 40GB (10K files) over a 1Mbps
link and it's very fast.  It also will do two-way sync.
