To be honest is not easier to install on server FreeBSD or Solaris where ZFS is natively supported? I moved my own server to FreeBSD and I didn't noticed huge difference between Linux distros and freebsd, I have no idea what about Solaris but it might be still similar environment.

Playing with lsyncd now, thanks for the tip!
One qeustion though: why did you opt to use lsyncd rather than using ZFS snapshots/send/receive?
Thanks,
