Sorry about the HTML formatting. Last time I sent a message, it sent as
plain text, but this time it sent as HTML. Weird. Anyways...
Again, I'm going to have to say this isn't quite what I want, although
this (without any kind of modification or "hacking" I mentioned in one
reply) *is* closer than rsync.
Thanks for the comment though. Every suggestion I get may give me links
to something that does meet my needs, so I really do appreciate every reply.

I'm looking for (in order of importance)...
...a synchronization scheme that integrates into the Linux
file system automatically like samba or NFS does: I can mount
the remote folder directly into my file system and the client
and server are always in sync with each other (no need to run
a synchronization program).
...a scheme that will not just rely on the server for the
content: it will keep a local copy on the client, and once the
daemon can successfully connect to the server again, will go
ahead and update the server. In short, a local caching system.
...a daemon that only requires a single, locked down port to
operate so I can lock down my firewall further.
...(maybe a bit of a stretch but) a system that can do basic
network recognition. For example: My home network consists of
a 192.168.2.0/24 subnet, and additionally the wireless's name
is "ournet" (substituted actual name). If I connect to a
wireless connection that is not "ournet", it won't even try
connecting. If connect to a lan and the subnet is
172.40.0.0/16 instead of my home subnet (192.168.2.0/24), it
won't even try connecting.

"Unison is a file-synchronization tool for Unix and Windows. It allows
two replicas of a collection of files and directories to be stored on
different hosts (or different disks on the same host), modified
separately, and then brought up to date by propagating the changes in
each replica to the other."
It is available as an RPM from Fedora Extras 3 + 4.
