This is a hairy issue. We have a similar need (East coast replication of our West coast filers) but I am waiting to see if something else comes along that will make this a simple issue...
Depending on how frequently your data changes, how closely you need the filers to be in sync, you might get away with something like rsync running once every so often (although, a 230 with 2M files and lots of deltas may make this a slower process) or you can try the ndmpcopy (using incrementals). Neither solution is optimal.
