Any ideas on what the cost is?

This is from probably 15 years ago, since it mentions Windows NT, XP, and 2000.

So you could probably take that X4 or X5.

I don't necessarily disagree, but this is first I have had anyone be able to suggest any software that might just do the trick, so I was going with what I knew.

How are your servers syncing files now?

We are using a program called ResilioSync, but it doesn't sync file locks.

If you're using two Windows servers within a domain, you can use builtin DFS.

Unfortunately, they are on different domains and one is in Oregon and one is in Singapore. Although they are connected by VPN.

That is something to consider.
