csync2 can be great for this sort of thing - I use it for recursive  
directory copies when puppet is too slow for that.

For larger number or files it's much much more efficient than rsync  
-- and it can sync "both ways"[1].

The proxy suggestion is also good (Varnish[2] is an up and coming  
super efficient reverse proxy cache server), but you still need to  
sync the content on at least two backends for HA...
