It seems to me that the normal examples that are in the documentation
show this. You establish Classes for each group of machine. This lets
you treat each group of machines the same.
It does not matter if the machines are in the same IP space,
so long as the names/IP's are unique.
If you set the splay time, then you spread out when people connect.
If you define a class for the timing, you can specific when each
of the machines does what it does. If you want the copy to take place
once a day, you can set a class for that.
You don't need to worry about the hierarchical distribution of
files , after the systems are set up, because you really don't
change your binaries that often.
If you copy once a day and the splay time is set right, you will
not notice the file movement at all.
I am assuming you have 10M or better network.

% Hi,
%
% Sorry, here is the full scenerio we are trying to test
% Setup :
% We got 300 machines divided into various groups. i.e Developer group,
% Engineering group, IS group, etc . Each group gets different configuration
% files through defined cron jobs. Presently the distribution of binaries,
% rpms, etc is done using multi-tier architecture means the main server
% distributes the files to the underlying 10 machines and then these 10
% machines distibutes the files to remaining 289 machines.
% Objective :
% We need to replace the above architecture using CFengine but at the same
% time we also make sure that network is not fully occupied. We want to have
% control on the number of machines getting the updates/files. Also,
% machines cannot be differentiated on IP basis. There are machines falling
% under different groups in the same IP range.
%
% Note : The group under which a machine lies is read by the utility from a
% flat file.
%
% Requirement :
% How our configuration files should look like and how can we execute
% different tasks on different set of machines.
%
%
%
% Package version in use : BerkeleyDB 3.3.11, OpenSSL 0.9.6e and
% CFengine2.1.3
%
%
% Machine SERVER_1 : Complete installation of all the packages mentioned
% above
% Services running : cfexecd and cfservd
% /data folder exported for CLIENT machine
% /data/cfrun.hosts has CLIENT_2 to CLIENT_289 names listed
%
%
% Machine CLIENT_2 - CLIENT_289 : Complete installation of all the packages
% mentioned above
% Services running : cfexecd
% Mounted /data folder from SERVER_1
% /opt/cfengine/ppkeys/root-SERVER_1.pub has public key available
%
%
%
% Please feel free if any other information is required. Looking forward to
% your reply.
%
% Thanks in advance.....

% We certainly will need to have more information that this.
%
% What system are you running on?
% What version of cfengine are you running?
%
% Exactly, what steps did you take to set it up?
%
% What exactly does the error say?
%
% without this kind of information (and much more) you will not
