Right, using the same UUID would be necessary to allow users to relocate between the mirror(s) and the master. This is suggested here:

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/notes/svnsync.txt

The mirror might be some commits behind the master depending on how fast syncs happen, but that shouldn't be a problem since the mirrors are read-only and users can only commit to the master.
