Sync Libraries across multiple Macs

I have an iMac which is my primary machine as well as a MacBook Pro. I want to be able to work on my images ubiquitously across both machines. Does anyone know of any sort of utility that would allow me to work on one machine then have a daily sync to the other so that all changes are replicated across both computers?

Mac OS X (10.6.5)

Aperture has some of this ability built-in. If you make changes in one library, and attempt to import it to a second library, Aperture will just sync the changes. I'd encourage you to read up on the documentation on this area.

I have a little trepidation recommending it for a solution for everyday sync. But it's certainly something I encourage you to check out and investigate it, though if it were me I'd do initial experimentation on some trial libraries.

And I have much trepidation about using something like ChronoSync to do this. They simply don't understand Aperture's library structure, and frankly I think the chances that you'll eventually corrupt the database (say if you forget to close Aperture on one machine and then sync) over time are very, very high.
