Updates via rsync/ssh is a push type of solution, which I experimented with only briefly. I preferred pull vs push, and worked out another method using signed, per-host tarballs on a webserver.I agree that pull is better, but I didn't want to open my firewall :). So I used push in this one case.
Just to clear things up, I had two cfengine servers. Internal pushed to external, and internal clients pulled from internal server, and external clients pulled from external server (via cfengine, which I trust almost as much as ssh). But I wasn't getting data back (that could've been done by a pull from the server), I was distributing configs.
