	There are a variety of ways of doing this.  I personally have a 
script that:
1.      Sets cfservd to trust that IP irrespective of key
2.      Uses ssh to trigger the first cfengine run (which will do the key
        exchange)
3.      Sets cfservd to not trust the IP

        I hope this answers the question.

	Incidentally, cfengine works in something you could call 
master/slave config, so if you grow, you can do that kind of thing too.
