My company just opened a satalite office in another state. I am trying to make it as easy as possible to keep everything between the two offices a close as possible. Anyone do this across OS's? The main file server here is Linux Enterprise and the server offsite is Windows 2003. Did you use RSYNC? The main issue I see is that "what if" situation where people access the same file on different servers and they both go to update. How have you handled this?

Hello,
What speed is your WAN connection to the remote office? We have a VPN here that connects our two offices, and it moves along just fine.
As for your orig question concerning mirroring the drives... that would be fun even in a pure NOS environment, where you had both boxes Linux or both boxes Windoze. Data is data, and in order to sync anything, you will need to have it fire over the VPN in real time, unless your SLA will allow you nightly updates / syncs.
Describe more your vision, and your goals.

rsynch function works well for mirroring drives...of course, I haven't done this over a WAN.
