Hi There,

You could have a seperate box, possibly an admin box or something, to store
a config generator script.
I use a similar script to create per squid configs e.g. to put the correct
SNMP config data for each squid host, for over 50 Squid caches. Once the
config is updated it is then pushed out via sftp and then the reconfigure
command is sent to each of the servers. To update and reconfigure it
normally takes me around 10 minutes. This method appears to work very well,
and should work as good in your scenario.
