You can try with a NFS mount point; Put your files on one server (which can be another one that web servers), and share the file folder with NFS ot the frontends.
You can even do other things like altering URL with a reverse proxy to make them point directly to this server, put a really ligthweight HTTP server like lighthttpd on this box.

Hi all,
My company is using 3 Drupal servers with load balancer to distribute the load. The problem is the files in sites/default/files folder need to be synchronized among these 3 Drupal servers.
I am thinking of using rsync for this purpose but I heard rsync may not be the best way to do it since it shouldn't delete the files so the number of files will grow quickly.
Has anybody used rsync to synchronize the files? Is there a better method to synchronize files in sites/default/files?
Thank you in advance!
Cheers, Ivan
