transfering lots of files

[Marc Peiser <marc.peiser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there,

I have a staging server with html and grahics that I need to push to 3
live load balanced web servers about twice a day. A utility like rsync can
do the job if you only have a few files, but I have 250 000 images and
html files, and rsync just can't cope. It really takes too long...

One script which works well is mirror.pl (on freshmeat) but that is run
from the live web servers and pulls the files from the staging server via
ftp. I need something similar but must be run from the staging server for
security reasons. The staging server is on a inside network and the 3
web servers are on the DMZ. Content must be pushed from the Hidden staging
server to the live web servers.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can do this. 

Does anyone do anything similar? I'm keen to hear how:-)

Regards,
Marc
