rsync anti-FUD

[tim.conway at philips.com]

The biggest example I've seen is CPT (Content Promotion Tool), used by IBM 
for their own, as well as their hosted, websites.  It uses rsync to copy 
data from inside the firewall to a limited-availability rw DFS replica in 
the DMZ, which is then released to the ro replicas actually exposed to the 
world.

        Classification: 



I'm working on a commercial project that would benefit immensely from
the use of rsync.  However, I cannot convince management that rsync is a
worthy tool due to the rote "it's shareware, it's not supported" FUD. 

Are there any documented, corportate users of rsync? Testimonials?  In
short, how do I drag this risk-averse group out of the FTP age into the
rsync present?
