Sorry but i see two conflicting ideas in the same sentence : 'realtime' 
and 'every 5 mins' .. ;-)
Why not using a MySQL replication (Master/Slave) between the two nodes ?
And if you don't feel confident about configuring that, why just not 
using Drbd between those two nodes ? realtime replication , whatever 
runs on top of the filesystem (DB, files, Mailboxes, etc ...)
