The price of bandwidth is an important factor.  ftp-master takes in 300MB
over the course of a day and then pulses that 300MB to 6 other servers
once a day.  This option has been discussed before; if you think you have
a solution, I'm sure there's an appropriate debian mailing list for it
(not sure which one though).
