Why not use rsync?  Rsync has a good algorithm for detecting changes 
between local and remote files, and only sends as much information as 
needed to get them back in sync.  For best results, you should still use
'kdb5_util dump' to create an off-line flatfile to run rsync on, instead 
of using the live database, and then run 'kdb5_util load' on each slave to 
load the new changes.
