What sort of turn around time are you looking for?  seconds, minus, 
hours, longer?

I would wonder about using rsync.

host1 -> host2 at the top of the hour
host2 -> host1 at the bottom of the hour

Or if  you wanted to get fancy

host1 pushes to host2 at the top of the hour
host2 pushes to host1 at a quarter past
host2 pulls from host1 at the bottom of the hour
host1 pulls from host2 at a quarter till

I'm thinking like if one of them was a road warrior and only one side 
could initiate because of a stateful firewall.
