--delete, but not for symlinks?

Hello,
I've been using rsync to keep two boxes in sync until one replaces the
other. To make things a bit more to my liking and to make apache's
userdir config a bit simpler, I have added a number of symlinks in the new
machine's /home. Both boxes have hashed userdirs, ie: /home/a/auser,
/home/b/buser, etc.
So I have some symlinks like /home/a/aweirdo -> /home/CORP/aweirdo. These
are only on the new box.
Is there any way to make use of the --delete flag when doing the transfer
and NOT have those symlinks that only exist on the new box be blown away?
It doesn't look possible, but perhaps one of the gurus can help come up
with a wacky way to work around this. If not, I'll see how much of a pain
it is to recreate the symlinks on the old/source box.
Thanks,
Charles
