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.
Try Rsync
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.
Depending on the number of machines, have you thought of NIS for the passwd files. Also a series scripts along with SSH remote logins (maybe with Host authentication) could allow you to remotely reboot the machines to a certain schedule etc.
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.
