And why do you think this is necessary at all?
CVS can be used just fine with accesses across the globe, in fact many
of my CVS modules are located on servers at long distances from myself
and they work just fine.
I don't really understand why you and your supplier cannot share the
same CVS server. I think that you are imaging the shortcomings of
other version control tools onto CVS and then you think you have to
solve a problem that is not even there!

Don't mirror or try to sync, instead both use one single CVS server
and you will be fine.
