Re: the interval for synching:

If the maximum # of connections in your rsyncd.conf is set to one, you'll
never start a session while another is running, although this obviously
won't work if you plan to sync more than two servers.

I've a wee bit of experience (emphasis on "wee bit") with the multiple rsync
session syndrome (our web server uses this to sync between a staging and
production server) and it gets a bit weird when sessions overlap.
