what daniel said.  the change control process on the master does its stuff
and when all is synced, the person making the change can 'signal' all the
tier-1 servers to start pulling data, via a 'push trigger'.

if multiple ssh keys are generated, it is even possible to trigger different
syncs for different parts of the archive - i speculate.
