Palm and Dirac.

Q2:
What is the best way to copy files from one machine to another, recursively and keeping symbolic links intact?

Answer:
Creating a tarfile using a wildcard match, enables a user not only to archive all the contents of a directory and subdirectories, but it also keeps the symbolic links intact. Once the tarfile has been created, it can be transferred from one machine to another via scp or sftp.
