rsync data 1:1 between old/new servers w/roles

I have a group of oldservers and matching new servers. I need to rsync a dir from each old one to each corresponding new one.

e.g.

oldserver1:/some/path → newserver1:/some/path
oldserver2:/some/path → newserver2:/some/path
oldserver3:/some/path → newserver3:/some/path

Even with the same path, the data therein can be different, so we don’t want oldserver1:/some/path → newserver3:/some/path

Up to this task, I already have the everything that needs to be prepped on the newserver in a functioning role.

I’m a bit lost at this point. I can manually do this via rsync no problem, but that’s what we’re trying to avoid, right?

Let’s start with a simple example: How do I rysnc a dir in one group of servers to another group of servers? Let’s assume there is only one server in each group. i.e.

[oldservers]
server1

[newservers]
new-server1
and i want a particular dir synced from [oldservers] to [newservers]
