clustered solution, how to edit configs?

[Cory Coager]

I'm planning on creating a nagios cluster using the following guidelines 
from http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/distributed.html .  I was 
thinking of using multiple nagios agents that use a submit_check_result 
script to send the results to two frontends using nsca.  Here is where 
I'm stuck though.

I want to have the same configs on every server but have random checks 
enabled/disabled so the load is distributed.  I also want to edit all 
the configs from one location in one directory.  I don't want to search 
for service checks in multiple directories, e.g., where is service 
check23?  Is it in folder2 or folder13?

How can I accomplish this?  Does someone have a solution already or do I 
need to do something creative?  I was thinking I could edit all the 
configs from one location, submit them to a version control repository, 
the agents automatically download new configs from the repository via 
crontab and nagios is reload if and only if they pass sanity checks.  
Thats a nice start but I'm still stuck on, how do I distribute the 
load?  How can I specify which checks are enabled on serverA while the 
rest are disabled with my requirements that I stated earlier.  I don't 
mind scripting a solution to make this possible but I need some creative 
ideas.

Hoping someone can help me out!
