[users@httpd] Spreading configuration on multiple host - best practize
Hallo,
I'm looking for a reliable method to spread a set of apache config files
on multiple unix systems, so that they are always using the same
configuration.
Which tools/software/methods are useful for such a task?
Any hint is welcome
Bye
Harald

I would highly suggest using the suggested rsync method. I would however
suggest tunneling rsync over ssh. With this method, you can automate syncing
with cron and ssh auto-login keys. Plus all data is encrypted over the wire
:)
NFS can be easily misconfigured, allowing for unintentional security holes
in your systems. As a rule, I never allow any type of NFS mount on a
production server.

I have done, and would suggest again, NFS.
Keeping centralized data on backend servers, and having frontends that
do the actual content hosting, over NFS in a secure manner works well.
