Real-time File Replication ... or close to it ...

Does anyone know of any work being done with FreeBSD to do the above?  I know 
about ggate/gmirror, but that is at the file system / kernel level ... I'd like 
to do something at the userland level, or something that combines the two ...

For instance, I found this article from back in '01 by someone that had 
developed a 'Linux kernel module' that "a linux kernel module that reports all 
file operations to a device special, and a userspace daemon which can take 
arbitray shell action on files matching regexp rules specified in a config 
file."
                 -

So, at least in this case, the REGEX could look for a specific top level 
directory and work on any files reported underneath it, ignoring the rest ...

Do we have anything similar to that, or does anyone know of something that 
works with FreeBSD 6.x to get to the same results?
