A bit OT, but we use cfengine (because puppet didn't exist when we
started doing it), but I strongly endorse the general sentiment behind
this statement; if you run any number of servers at all, a config
management tool like puppet/cfengine will transform your working life.

Does puppet provide built-in facilities to synchronise events across
multiple servers, because that was a concern to the OP.
