You might also look at Puppet which claims "Puppet could be said to be 
the next-generation cfengine. The overall design is heavily influenced 
by cfengine, but the language is more powerful than cfengine's and the 
library is more flexible."

I have no experience with either of these. If you end up using one I 
would be interested in hearing about it.
