Assuming your definition of small matches mine (less that 50Kb), in my
experience Puppet will only do this if the server is loaded (not applicable to
you) or if you have high latency. (more than 100ms ping) Switching away from
Webrick is strongly advised because 2 clients running at the same time can
heavily load it down when serving files, but I know that doesn't apply to you.
In my case, I use an exec managed by puppet that uses rsync to sync the files
at 2am. Here it is although it doesn't sound like it's very useful to you.
There's also a bit more code to force it to run on the first run using a
creates.
exec { "/usr/bin/rsync -avz simba.outer::www/ /var/www/":
schedule => long_maintenance,
require => [Package["apache2"], Package["rsync"]],
}
schedule { long_maintenance:
period => daily,
repeat => 1,
range => "1:30 - 2:30",
}

Again, I'm giving you what you asked for, but this is rather simple.
