The host to use for the policy hub is set using the --bootstrap option, and the 
"somewhere persistent" is the  /var/cfengine/policy_server.dat file in the 
client. But the directory from where the files are fetched is determined by the 
policies, in particular the "bundle agent update", which in the default policy 
files (those put in place when you bootstrap a client) is defined in 
/var/cfengine/inputs/failsafe.cf, and those files are copied from the server's 
masterfiles directory. So if you modify those files (and the location of the 
masterfiles directory) on the policy hub, any clients you bootstrap afterward 
will receive the updated policy files.
