Well, if one master gets hundresd's coneections and it gives me
timeouts, and, if I add more puppetmasters they get less and less
connections, and the host is not swapping and it responds very well, I
try tun more masters as I get less connections timeouts.

Well, 3.1 MB and 100 files (IIRC) is a heavy file serving? most of the
files are under same dir, so I copy then recursevely... is it really
heaavy?

Sure, I could, but, as someone said here, puppet can handle 100 hosts,
and noone talked about having to run puppet via cron, I supposed that
puppet daemon was a good idea.
