The other part is that a wiki is really unmirrorable using normal
methods of mirroring a site. You need to just run the same software and
have the database behind it mirrored. I'm sure if the wiki is running a
new enough version of mysql, and the admin is willing, you could set up
a mirror of the database and then set up a full on replication. Mysql
supposedly supports replication, might want to put it to some use.
