asterisk users - Oct 2009 - Syncronizing files on different Asterisk servers

Hello
I need some advice regarding the Asterisk server that are located at
different locations.

Three asterisk servers are here each at different location. Suppose A,B,C be
the three servers respectively.

Server A is connected to server B and server C through a VPN.

I have a developed an IVR service on server B and server C where users come
and record their voice. On the same servers B and C users come to listen the
recorded voices (I am using agi ). any user records his profile on server B
, NOW a user who make a call to server C cannot listen to profiles recorded
at server B. Because these profiles reside on Server B ... Similar in case
of server C.

I thought a solution that i will use sockets. when a user records  a voice
on Server B . The file will be send to Server A and Server A will send it to
all other servers ie C and others if exists.

But if alot of user start to record their voices then sockets may fail ???
DO any one have idea to do it in better way ???

Yeah i do have considered that option but the problem is that in if i have
four servers server ie A,B,C,D... all cannot be servers ands clients at the
same time. Thats the reason I am wondering any other solution

Well you already suggested that you would send all files to server A, so A 
is your "server".  Now you just need to replicate that file store to
the
other servers, with a tool like rsync.

Other options?  How about setting up A as a mounted file system on the 
other servers, such that they all write to the same place.  Or perhaps 
make it more complex and have a database that points to the files on their 
respective servers, and your app then grabs the file it needs based on the 
pointer it finds in the table.

By "...listen to profile..." do you mean retrieve their voice-mail on
a different server?

Thanks Alot @ Jeff LaCoursiere, at Arjan Kroon, at Robin, at Joseph

@ Jeff LaCoursiere
>>Well you already suggested that you would send all files to server A, so
A
>>is your "server"
 Sorry For the wording actually i need to send to a central server. then a
central server to all others. Because all servers have VPN To central Server
only.
The Drive Mount Option seems cool to me but I dont have any Idea About it .
Can you give me some clues or links

@ Arjan Kroon

As i dont have good idea about Mounting what about the script .... actually
i need some thing that dont needs human hand after development. And if
script can do this then it will be fine.


@Robin
Which Application do use for that ?? Please elaborate
>>>Hell, you could even "abuse" dropbox for this purpose.
What does this means?


@ Joseph

No Joseph its not some thing voice mail its recording of suggestions etc
Actually operators are located at different locations and if a user leave a
suggestion at one operator then the file will be on that particular server.
But if the user of another operator want to listen that file then this file
must be present on that server also ..Thats why I am considering these
options

Have you considered rsync?  We use it to synchronize voicemail between
offices connected through a VPN.  Of course you need to run rsync somehow,
which is easy with an external command every time someone checks their voice
mail, but no reason it couldn't be done with a cron job.
