FWIW, the setup we have for svn.plone.org may be useful for others as 
well: we have two servers (svn.plone.org and svn-mirror.plone.org) with 
a svnsync setup to keep the mirror (almost) realtime in sync with the 
main server. There is an LDAP database which is replicated between the 
two servers as well which we use for authentication. This setup allows 
us to swich svn.plone.org to the other server in minutes if it dies, 
without any loss of data.
