Hi, here's my server issue; any suggestions are greatly appreciated...
- My company has an office in Northeast US, and in SE Asia.
- SE Asia can access the file server in US (and vice versa), but transfer rate is abysmal (it's basically unusable).
- SE Asia needs to access (read) US files, and vice versa.
- The two offices are not modifying each others' files (or if they do it's fine if the next sync overwrites them).

So what I'd like to do is have these two servers (one in US, one in Asia) mirror each other:
US files on partition "US master" -> Asia partition "US mirror", updating/syncing once a day.
Asia files on partition "Asia master" -> US partition "Asia mirror", updating/syncing once a day.

Question: What is the best way to do this? I cannot outsource; this must be in-house. I've thought about automating an ssh connection, but maybe there's something more sophisticated? Thanks much.
