sync append only file

Hi:

I need periodically rsync a bunch of very big files. These files
are append-only so changes are already at the end of the file.

Because files are big, I assume it will take some time comparing the first
part of files. Is there a way that I can tell rsync to sync only the extra
part at the end of file, and do not compare the first part of files?

Thanks.

Chuang
