OpenAFS was already considered.  R/O replication is a pain, as is the 
whole volume host death problem. (ie: write volume goes away if the host 
holding the volume dies).

I haven't looked at Coda recently.  They still seem to be active (I 
thought they'd all abandoned ship for Intermezzo - seems I was wrong). 
I'll check it out sometime soon.
