Les,

You are looking for a piece of software made to update your system to
automagically do configuration management of multiple production
servers that are located in places that make them harder to manage
than your test server.

This is not a reasonable goal in my opinion, and while several people
have provided good ideas to help get you closer to your goal the
bottom line is that config-management is a hard thing and takes actual
work.

There are people working on RHN replacements which would ease your
task, but even that still takes a lot of work.

Regards,
Greg
