I wonder if you could help me to find a solution on how to synchronize two CVSNT server. For example, we have one development team in India and one in Malaysia. Is it possible to synchronize both server in free way? I found that WANdisco and March Hare Software can implement this but it is not free. Your respond is very much appreciated.

you can use any Free File Syncronziation Software ( eg: rsync) to sync the CVS data between two CVSNT Server.
Because your CVS data will be in the location that you set in CVSNT.
So, just sync those data by using normal file syncronization software… so, it’s depend on CVS software.. you may use any free sync software for that…
