Management techiniques for multiple FreeBSD servers?
Hi, I'm looking around for any articles/docs regarding techniques for managing groups of FreeBSD servers - things like running a local package mirror or build server, standardised installs, update management - all the usual boring stuff. I know that people like Yahoo use thousands of *BSD systems, but does anyone have any pointers on tools to make day-to-day management of them scale?
