If you actually want to do something like that: you could use drbd (http://www.linbit.com/en) it's similar to raid1 over network, only the driver
	* knows not to read from the network side, 
	* can do a quick sync after disconnect by using a change-bitmap
	* correctly determine which side has current data when doing a cold start

I'm using this for several linux ha (activa/standby) clusters, works quite nicely. drbd doesn't do any encryption by itself, but since the connection is plain IP, you could use any of the available IP tunneling/encryption standards you like to get secure replication.

Bye, Martin
