Just thinking, I haven't tried this. You can specify the binary that is called
on the remote side if you go with SSH. Like that you could create a
script file that syncs from 2 to 3 and call that from 1 after you have finished
synching from 1 to 2. The script itself sits and runs on 2.
If 3 is a mirror of 2 you don't need exactly the same options as you used
for synching from 1 to 2, just create an exact copy (-a --delete etc).
