Is there any plan to include heartbeat 2.0.4 rpm and drbd last version in extras?

Ugh. What a week!
Anyway, my situation is that we have a production server in San
Fransisco, and
a "hot" backup in my hometown (Chico, CA) .
What I'd like to do is mirror the production server to the local one, so
that
if the SF server goes down, we have work saved to the last possible
moment.
Say, within 10 minutes.... Is this feasible?
I don't think something like DRBD is going to work very well across a WAN link. The amount of traffic generated by drbd can be pretty large, it is enough that I normally use a gigabit crossover cable between 2 servers (if possible) when using drbd on them.
I would think that rsyncs of the appropriate directories at a period in time might be the best way to handle this.
I am getting ready to do this in then next week or so myself ... if I have any luck, I'll tell you what solution I found. In my case I am also worried about a mysql database that has live info in it ... and an ldap database too.

I'm previewing drbd as a potential tool, and wanted to know if

has
experiemented with it at all... How stable is it? Does the

likelyhood of failure given the additional complexity actually get compensated by a better overall system?
I've used DRBD and Heartbeat in various guises for various roles over the last 5 or 6 years. Initially I was loathe to put it in production, it just didn't seem polished enough.
Nowadays it's pretty decent though we don't use it for vast quantities
of
data.
We have some old-ish boxes running as LVS loadbalancers for a handful of mail and webservers and these are pretty solid.
We run DRBD/Heartbeat clusters for a Qmail/VPOPMail NFS mailstore which holds around 40GB of customer Maildirs. That's running the packaged DRBD and Heartbeat RPMs from CentOS Extras and has been solid since we switched back to NFS3 from NFS4.
We run a similar setup with small MySQL and Postgres databases and that's pretty reliable too.
