Can nfs provide some help for you ?

You could share the folder with nfs, and then diff the 2 folders

Unison supports synchronizing between two remote hosts. Kinda hard to use at first.

It is free and open source.

assuming using ssh for remote login...

Code:

SVR1=`ssh men@server1 ls -1R /main/dir1`
SVR2=`ssh men@server2 ls -1R /main/dir1`
diff -r $SVR1 $SVR2
