- Yes, both sites have to be online and changing data at the same time.
- data loss is unacceptable
- platform is Gentoo Linux
- downtime of up to 1 day is acceptable as long as there is no data loss
- throughput latency -> internet over 10megabit line

Sure, there are lots of ways. Factors that start constraining things
are:
- do both sites have to be online (making changes to the data) at the
same time?
- how tightly do both sites have to stay in sync?
- is data loss acceptable if one site suffers a disaster?
- what platform are you running on?
- how much throughput latency do you have between sites?
- how much downtime is acceptable in switching sites?
