Thanks Craig, I'll have a look into this approach. It does feel a little flaky though, I suspect it may be easy for things to get out of sync, I'll see how we get on.
Thanks!

I was just wondering if there was any sort of best practice (or a scheduler perhaps) that people could share for this sort of thing? Currently the approach is to use salt to provision each node and add consul/mesos slave process and so on to it, but it'd be nice to remove the dependency on salt.
