I was unable to find any articles to answer this question, so my best bet was to post this here:
Scenario
We have 2x application servers in production hosting a PHP website and I would like some folders to be syncronized between the 2, the same was setup for the development environment with no issues, I've followed all instructions from the URL "http://www.cloudedify.com/synchronising-files-in-cloud-with-csync2/", I still seem to have the same result, firewall has been disabled on both boxes for troubeshooting purposes:
Config Files:
cysnc2.cfg
nossl * *;
group production {
   host server1;
   host server2;
   key /etc/csync-production-group.key;
 include /etc/httpd/sites-available;
 include /xxxxxx/public_html/files
 include /xxxxxxx/magento/media/catalog/product
 include /xxxxxxx/magento/media/brands
   exclude *.log;
   exclude /xxxx/public_html/file/cache;
   exclude /xxxxx/public_html/magento/var/cache;
   exclude /xxxx/public_html/logs;
   exclude /xxxxx/public_html/magento/var/log;
   backup-directory /data/sync-conflicts/;
   backup-generations 2;
   auto younger;
}
/etc/xinetd.d/csync2
csync2.cfg
   service csync2
    {
       disable         = no
       flags           = REUSE
       socket_type     = stream
       wait            = no
       user            = root
       group           = root
       server          = /usr/sbin/csync2
       server_args     = -i -D /data/sync-db/
       port            = 30865
       type            = UNLISTED
       log_type        = FILE /data/logs/csync2/csync2-xinetd.log
       log_on_failure  += USERID
    }
I've made sure that the daemon is listening on both server on port 30865 and the keys matched on both servers
I've run a tcpdump on each server, output as follows:
12:20:31.366771 IP server1.49919  server2.csync2: Flags [S], seq 445156159, win 14600, options [mss 1460,sackOK,TS val 794864936 ecr 0,nop,wscale 7], length 0

Is there anything else i'm missing or should be doing?
