That seems unnecessary.

Our redundant webheads use an NFS server for conf files.  In fact
they mount /usr/local from the NFS server (our apache is in
/usr/local/apache, and the files they serve are elsewhere on that
filesystem).  If NFS crashes, I'd work on solving that problem.
The next alternative I'd suggest is to keep a script somewhere
that scp's all necessary files into place from a master copy.
