Have you considered cfengine?  

from http://www.cfengine.org/
                             About Cfengine
Cfengine, or the configuration engine (
http://www.cfengine.org/cfdetails.html ) is an autonomous agent (
http://www.cfengine.org/daystrom.html ) and a middle to high level
policy language and agent for building expert systems to administrate
and configure large computer networks. Cfengine is designed to be a part
of a computer immune system. (
http://www.iu.hio.no/~mark/research/immune ) It is ideal for cluster
management and has been adopted for use all over the world in small and
huge organizations alike.
