Yeah, your problem description is clear enough.  If you want true  
redundancy and the data available from both machines, you're talking  
about more of a clustered filesystem like Veritas CFS or maybe Andrew  
FS / DFS from Transarc.

However, you might also find something like /usr/ports/net/unison a  
reasonable alternative:
