James, How about this instead:
Stick a 'config' file in a common location to each server. Run a scheduled task every X minutes to read this file and compare a date/time stamp to the last date/time stamp of the config loaded in the server scope. If they are different, update the config from this shared file. You would just need to create the scheduled tasks and use a CAR to deploy to the other servers.

What exactly are you wanting to do? No problem - this is actually starting to tie in with my last post "MX7: Updating a single server in a cluster..." so better to start relating everything together and carry on from one post. I want to be able to update a server config which sits on each instance. The config is the same for each but I need to reinitialise it on all of them at the same time. I'd like to write a script which automates the process of gathering the instance details from a server and updates each one individually as we actually have five servers with multiple instances on the go now. Right now I've got a bit of a manual process going on which identifies via the server_name which server I'm on, it then gets a hard coded list of the instances names and starts firing CFHTTP requests at the server until each instance has updated and returned a value that it's completed. It then "ticks" that instance off the list and starts the CFHTTP again until all the instances have been done. I've explained this a bit better in the post I've mentioned above but I just think this way of doing it is a bit heavy-handed.
