We have quite a few hosts replicating from a single master (across the WAN), what we've noticed is that when we add new distributions we can end up with massive quantities of data going across the links.

It would be really good if we could utilise a couple of the rsync options to prevent the links from getting hammered quite so badly. Additionally for repos that get synced it would be nice if RPMs deleted in the master went away on the slaves.

The specific rsync options we'd like to be able to use are:
--delete / --delete-after
--fuzzy
--copy-dest
--link-dest
--bwlimit
