 Looking around, but probably just not in the right place. I would like
 to be able to disable httpd on all but a pair of servers, so we kind of
 force all updates to come from a master and slave pair. Just trying
 to keep updates defined to 2 servers rather than all of them in an 8
 server configuration.

 Where might I find that? Or is it possible? Will it break anything?

 Not sure the complete reasoning behind that but...
 
 The safest route would be to just firewall ports 80 and 443 off. There
 is a way to tell ipactl to not start a service but I haven't thought
 through the implications.
 
 The CA interfaces on those machines will also be inaccessible.

Please keep in mind that this will not prevent users from making changes via
LDAP or kpasswd protocol. E.g. password changes will be still possible, this
only hides the web interface and API.

Such configuration is not tested. Here be dragons.

You wouldn't get anything by doing such a selecting 'disabling'. Every
Kerberos authentication causes updates of LDAP objects on the KDC, so if
you have 8 KDCs, all of them will be modifying LDAP store and
replicating to each other.
