BitTorrent Sync could facilitate both of these needs (data sync & catalog sync).

We has been experimenting with the btsync linux client on our DNS-RR
tds.hycom.org servers to (try to) keep our 200+ file Aggregation cache
in sync (/usr/share/tomcat/content/thredds/cache/agg). You could have
a share for the catalogs, a share for the data, and a share for the
cache (if needed) all managed via one program.

However, we actually use puppet to push out our catalogs so that we
can have the tomcat service restarted when an update/change is made to
any of the catalogs (on the puppet master).
