Using rsync for two-waz-synchronisation

Hello,
is there any way to use rsync for two-way-syncronisation? I want to use
it to keep the data on two hosts consistent. Sometimes one of this hosts
(sometimes the first, sometimes the second) changes its location.
If the two hosts are at the same location I want automatically rsync them.
The data only changes at one hosts but it is not defined on which host
it changes.
For example:
I have this structure on host 1:
/Desktop
/Pictures
/blabla
test.txt
info.txt
If rsync from host 1 to host 2, host2 has the same structure.
This are my options:
rsync -e "ssh -1" -a --delete --exclude "lost+found" /somepath
somehost:/somepath
If I create a file on host 1 and run rsync again the file is also on host 2.
But: If I create a file on host 2 and run rsync on host 1 the file is
deleted on host 2. If I use -u instead of --delete files that changed on
host 2 are not overwritten but they are also not copied to host 1.
I want to have the same files on both hosts by running rsync as cronjob
on one host.
with kind regards
