Well, it probably seems like a bigger pain than it is. Mostly because I
end up doing these things at 3 am on about 4 hours of sleep (bad
planning on my part).

However, it does seem a bit odd to me. As Dave says the cluster is jsut
a bunch of individual servers. However, they are a bunch of individual
servers that are supposed to act a cohesive unit. With memory
replication a request to one is supposed to be as good as a request to
another. If the members of the cluster can share objects between one
another why can't they share parts of configurations? It would
certainly cut down on the chance of a request going awry because part
of a cluster has one config and the rest has another, as the human
doing the updating can go only so fast.

sands where one helplessly sank, and the roads which ended in nothing.�
The slightest reversal would have resulted in a jolt to our prestige
giving rise to all kinds of catastrophe; the problem was not only to
conquer but to conquer again and again, perpetually; our forces would
be drained off in the attempt." - Emperor Hadrian (Roman, AD 117-138)
