Seems like a nightmare in the making... Basically, no matter what you do, the
data has to be transferred.
How are users going to access the files on site B? If it is through a Web
browser, then a caching proxy in Site A might be your best answer.
Your best option might be to cache the files on Site A, and use rsync to copy
them to/from site B. If the NAS doesn't support rsync, look into FTP -
it's probably the fastest data transfer protocol around.
Don't use NFS over slow links. It's one of the weaknesses of NFS.
