This is what I'm setting up as well, we'll have individual, stand
alone, clusters that are synced using a combination of
rsync/ssh/lsyncd/csync2.  For me this is a true DR environment, since
each instance will be storing and serving content at the same time,
and won't be reliant on the other, but as long as they're both up they
will keep each other in sync as to be a mirror.
