</div>Actually, it can be quite simple and maintainable.<br>
<br>
I use rsync to maintain my configuration, source, script, crontab and<br>
sound files across several servers in separate geographic location. The<br>
files are distributed to a directory tree that mirrors my development<br>
system.<br>
<br>
I use preprocessor.pl from the Mozilla project to customize configuration,<br>
script and crontab files. The customization process inserts database<br>
credentials and manages host specific differences.<br>
<br>
I invoke this process using "make rsync" to distribute the files and then<br>
"make config" to customize the files and move them to the correct<br>
locations with the correct ownership and permissions.<br>
<br>
This way, I can manage everything from one location with a minimum of<br>
duplication, distribute large and slow updates without affecting<br>
production then roll the update out quickly.<br>
<br>
I like the "autonomy" of this system. While some systems depend on MySQL<br>
databases local to their datacenter, no system is dependent on any<br>
resource outside of its datacenter.<br>
<br>
Periodically, the "reporting database server" sucks CDRs and other data<br>
out of the remote "production database servers" so reporting reflects<br>
activity of all of the servers.<br>
<br>

Thanks in advance,<br>
