can 'rcp' be configured as a virtual service?

ftp and ssh/scp are configured on my LVS, and work, but both have a
disadvantage when initial server content needs to be copied onto the
realservers, which has plenty of Gb data volume.

ftp has no recursive copy option.

scp is slow on the local network because it encrypts all content.

I want to save myself the time and disk space to copy everything first
onto the director, and from there to the realservers, or of packing
everything first into tar-files, just to upack them later on the 
realservers.

therefore a command like rcp -rp which does recursive copies would
come handy between the outside and the real servers.
