Great suggestion, but its hard to simulate some of these failures in a test framework. For example, how would I simulate the load of 900 clients against a MPS in a lab / test? My effort with Cfengine is developing policies that enhance our configuration. The workload I experience outside of

Well, Cfengine is a mature product, but there is new code being introduced that causes bugs. Maybe since Linux seems to be the primary platform that the bits are developed on, tested against, and packages provided for -- that seems to be the most stable platform. I've been running Cfengine on Sol
