[UPHPU] rsync batch

[Wade Preston Shearer]

rsync has a slick function (as described in the man page) called  
batching. It allows you to save the comparison that rsync does out to  
a file (a chache of sorts), allowing you to run the exact same  
synchronization on multiple severs faster. This sounds ideal for  
someone using rsync to deploy a load-balanced website to multiple  
servers. I am curious if anyone is using rsync's batch option? It says  
in the man page that it is not stable yet and shouldn't be used. I  
also discovered that it won't run in combination with the compress  
flag. Without compressing, I am wondering if you would even save much  
batching (over just running a standard rsync for each server.
