You might want to consider using rdist, or my own similar program called
"coda" to do this.  Rdist reads file and pushes new files out to client
machines.  Coda runs on a wide variety of clients and sucks over new files
from a master.  Rdist is freely-distributable, part of the BSD sources,
and coda appeared in c.s.unix, volume 21.
