Oh, this is about replication.

AKA: "yum install cobbler (or arrive there by kickstart)" … "configure XXX & 
start services" … "cobbler replicate".   Yes, there's a Wiki page for this -- 
not the ones I linked.

This is the one you want to add to:  
https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/wiki/Replication

I don't think we can replicate configuration file differences sanely (or should 
try), as certain things should need to change, and it's not a one size fits all 
thing … but you could include those in the kickstart.

You could probably use the cobbler configuration file support to ship the 
config files out too.
