Well, I don't have a farm of servers, but for my couple of machines at home, I
have a single big machine that does the buildworld and then on the other
machines I mount
/usr/src => buildmach:/usr/src
/usr/obj => buildmach:/usr/obj
and on the client machine:
cd /usr/src
make installworld
seems to work just fine. You'd also want to do a mergemaster on each machine
or if you know things have changed, you could have a nice big rcp loop or
rsync or something.

Don't know about that one ...
