This sounds like these things could be accomplished with zones and lofs.
Also tools like either ops center or something like cfengine could help
keep consistent files across multiple servers

Hello.
We would like to make the following configuration: several servers have common /etc , but can override some files. So, when you change files, they are written to separate dir (e.g., base /etc is nfs.server/share_etc, and modified files are stored in nfs.server/<hostname>/share_etc_customization ). So we can check, what files have changed on server and provide some basic configs, which would be common for several servers. The other decision (apart unionfs) we investigating now is something like fsvs, but there is no OpenSolaris package for it, and it is quite annoying. However storing configs in svn is a good idea, but using custom fsvs soft (to store metadata changes - e.g. permission) is not very attractive for me.
Obviously not UnionFS itself, and based on the
description of UnionFS
nothing comes to mind. I haven't heard of UnionFS
prior to your mention.
Can you describe what aspect of UnionFS you're
interested in?
