Is there a disadvantage when all the clients
running the cf-serverd?

You do want to keep in mind that cf-serverd (and everything else) evaluates 
your common bundles.  So, if you're doing something like running a moderately 
expensive command as a module inside the classes section of a common bundle, or 
setting a var based on an execresult call, etc - that will start happening 
fairly frequently as cf-serverd and cf-monitord periodically reevaluate your 
policy. :)


That is why at our site it only parses:
 * promises.cf
 * cf-serverd.cf

promises.cf:
{{{
## Only include the relevant configuration files for the different programs
#
server::
    inputs          => {
        "cf-serverd.cf",
    };
}}}


But that's really the only thing you need to bear in mind, aside from obviously 
making sure that you're opening up access in a secure way (only the right hosts 
can get to certain files, etc).
