I once build a solution similar to that (sans the mysql ) that used rsync .

I used to make the modification for a site on the central server and 
then send via rsync the files to the remote machines , this will also 
trigger another script on each remote machine that changed the 
service/host definition from passive to active (simpel sed or perl will 
to it) , do a check ( nagios -v) and reload ( if any errors found in the 
nagios -v stage it would mail the IT team and exit )

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security 
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes 
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
