The point really should be that all files that are served are consistent and up-to-date, not that all files on all nodes are consistent all the time. The second condition can only be met by a distributed file system, which is complex, costly and difficult to maintain. The first condition however can be met by using simple local file systems and sets of nodes, disabling one set of nodes to update files on those nodes, whilst serving from another set of nodes. Once all the nodes in the first set are up to date, you switch to serve from that node set, and start updating the nodes in the second set. Once those are up to date, you can serve again from all nodes. This could easily be automated - sad to say, I would probably use haproxy over mod_proxy_balancer for this, for its better reporting, management tools and API.
