Hi,

In fact, you do nto need to sync on every change on the master, but you need
to get at least a valid configuration on the slave so the slave arbiter can
start.

The master will send its configuration to the slave when it will connect to
it. So you do not need to rsync the whole master conf after each change. But
if you completely lost your host master, you will also lost your
configuration and your slave will only got the configuration in memory. So
it's good to sync the configuration like once a day or week, so your slave
will not be totally orphaned :)

For the forum I'm on it :)
