Well, My intentions with this is to figure out someway to cut down on 
dirvish backup times.  I run dirvish TWICE each night.. Once for the 
inhouse drive and once for the offsite drive.  If I could 'tee' the 
files to two physical drives at once..I think it would GREATLY speed 
things up.   The only catch that I JUST KNOW THOUGHT OF...  If you are 
rsyncing...the information that would go between the two different drive 
sets most likely will be different.

I need something like an  'rteenc' or  'teesync' !! :)  I'll have to 
think on this some more..
