Thanks to all who have replied so far.

I am currently utilizing yum for package management and updates from
my own local repository, and.. so far it has worked quite well

What I'm really looking for is a way to keep all my apache v host
configs and other unique files synchronized across all the machines.

As well as just managing them over all, rebooting, updating a specific
file or permission, keeping the passwd files updated etc. Having one
shared FS would be ideal, but nfs is not an option.

cfengine and radmind look very promising, should I have the time to
fully read the documentation :)

This thread has been extremely helpful so far, so thanks again.

I ate too much chocolate tonight.
