Typically (by defacto standard) /usr/local is local to the site, not local to the individual host. I would tend to use /local for individual hosts, but /usr/local for sitewide. A site might consist of both loosely and tightly coupled hosts, and a tight cluster might represent itself as a single host within the site. The best way to resolve these issues might well be the judicious use of appropriate symbolic links. -- Adam David
