How to sync memory files to another node

Hi Guys !

I am looking to replicate in-memory files to another machine. Is there a file system that does this ? I need to to store some context in a file that cannot reside on disk and needs to be an in memory file and I want to be able to sync this file on every write to another m/c to which I have IP connectivity so that if my process dies then the process running on the remote m/c has this context and can start where the first one left off. Since the number of writes will be large I do not want to store this on any media just RAM but I need a file system that will take a destination IP address and sync all files under a path (eg /dev/memfs/) and sync them to another location. I also need this filesystem to be able to grow and shrink.

Is there something for linux that does this already ?

Thanks,
Vinay
