NAS synced via a VPN tunnel? Need help...

[mrwrong 0]

Anyone here familiar with NAS and VPN?

Here is the general idea.
I want to set up 2 NAS units at 2 locations and then I’m hoping that it would be possible to keep them synced over a VPN tunnel. (the initial setup will be done with both NAS units at the same location)

I want to use Smooth Wall as the point to point VPN tunnel and Netgear ReadyNAS RNDX400E.

Anyone has an idea if this setup is even possible?
Anyone that has a better suggestion for this setup??

I've not used Smoothwall myself, but if it's critical that the 2 NAS's are sync'd, you may be better with a hardware VPN between two routers.

Sorry for not being clear about this...

It's not that critical that both of the NAS units are being synced in real time. My plan was to set up some form scheduled task to sync them during the night.

Depending on whether this NAS provides SSH/rsync, I'd set up SSH (with public key authentication only) and used rsync over ssh to synchronize them.

Smart, easy and secure enough for just about everything for personal use.... not bad at all.

In fact it does provide rsync support
There is hope for my little project.
