n> Has anybody had this situation and what solutions did you come up with? You may want to copy to an intermediate file (1) and use Augeas or edit_line on a second copy (2) which then gets copied into the final destination (3). That way the network copy is done only when necessary into (1), while Augeas/edit_line runs locally on (2), and finally (3) is updated only when changes bubble up.
