I'm using one like so:

/usr/bin/rsync -avpz -e ssh --delete /var/www/html/inside.foo.com fooweb101:/var/www/html/


The only thing that sort of weirded me out is that when I first set this up, for some reason in my head this was counterintuitive.  I would've thought that 

/var/www/html/inside.foo.com fooweb101:/var/www/html/inside.foo.com

would've been more correct.  I guess my thinking was "I'm mirroring inside.foo.com, so it should be specified on both ends" sort of logic.  

Apparently not.  :)

Once I got that ironed out in my head, I was fine.
