I think iFolder would do what you want (someone else mentioned it
already).
I don't know, though, if you need OES (Novell Open Enterprise Server)
to make it useful in a larger environment with more users.
It will take care of the synchronisation in the background.
But I'm not so sure about the longevity of the project as such - I
don't specifically track it, and it looks like not many updates got
published over the last months...
