It's not from Plan 9, but you could use Doozer, it was designed for exactly this kind of thing: https://github.com/ha/doozerd . It's basically Google Chubby for mortals. It's written in Go and it's zero-config. The client is a user space app, it doesn't interact with the Linux VFS, so you need to script the doozer client to copy config files where your servers require them. -- Aram Hăvărneanu
