I've help implemented such a system for two clients. Essentially, you need a daemon running on the production node to transfer the achive logs over to the remote node, and another daemon on the remote node applying the archive logs on the mounted db. If you have o/s mirrorring implemented, you could even have two databases on the remote node: One would be mounted and never open to accept archive logs and another would be open and accessible to users as a "reporting system" (eg, a day old image of production db)
