You could try using tools such as cfengine and/or puppet (both are in ports) to have them pull in their configuration form a master host. Preparing the configuration, scripts, install tools and keeping them under version control might work for your purposes. Whether it's worth your effort is up to you. I'd recommend to start simple, to see if you like it. If so, it should free your hands a bit to improve on the system. Perhaps a look at infrastructures.org [1] proves helpful; it was for me. How you want to deploy such a thing with multiple companies etc. may take some thought/checking their policies. Hope this helps, Rogier References: 1.
