I would to this using rsync. You create a rsync server that has the
files that need to be updated, using the same tree inside /etc.

Or a more elegant one, create a directory in /etc, and put all the the
files that will be updated, and link then to the original place,
something like:

/etc/cups/cups.conf -> /etc/general-confs/cups.conf

And you just use rsync in /etc/general-confs

An make a cron job, or put somewhere in the init scripts to run rsync.
