I am going to second to recommendation of WANsync as a possible
solution, albeit a VERY pricey one (~ $3000). We use it to keep data
synchronized for a major law that is currently handling billions in
flood claims. The software works VERY well. Supposedly, you can also
limit its bandwidth so that it doesn't saturate the pipe if you have it
setup to run constantly (synchronizing on the fly).
