Y(standby) can ssh to X, but X cant ssh to Y. X will need a hop server to do so. But Y can ssh/scp directly from X. So Y (standby) copies the files from X (primary) and applies. This is what network security guys gave me to work on. It's messy I know. One of the toughest requirements I worked on. Log files are switched every 10 minutes to ensure data loss of no more than 10 minutes.
