Use post-commit to fire off a command to "svnsync" on the secondart server. This doesn't mirror configurations, but you don't want to do that anyway: the second server should be locked down to prevent local changes, out of sync with the primary server. Rsync is dangerous because if you do it in post-commit, it's non-blocking and other changes may be submitted while the change is occurring and cause chaos in the remote repository. The same problem exists with mirroring *any* database: the mirroring step needs to be atomic. Alternatively, consider switching to a distributed source control system where merges to disparate repositories are more effective.
