Making directory on each in sync

[gatetec]

I have a cluster node with 5.3 TL 7, and each node has a directory called /tempfs. If there are any changes on /tempfs on Node #1, I want to have it sync'd with /tempfs on Node #2 or vice versa.
I can think of using cron with * * * * * to copy from /tempfs on Node #1 to /tempfs on Node #2, but there will be the time interval.

Is there any way to make them in sync so that, whichever node is being used, the other node can get the same files/contents?

thx so much

rsync command can do this for you! it copies only the differences among the directories so it is very light on the network which can be configured in a crontab to run every 10 mins or so!
