The canonical solution is to track RELENG_4_x by building on one machine and installing over NFS; see http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/small-lan.html for details. A few days ago I released a binary updates system, but I wouldn't suggest using it unless you know what you're doing. >I need to automate this for 10000 servers. That's a lot of servers. What are they all doing? If you're dealing with a failure-tolerant cluster, you'll have much more freedom in how you upgrade things than if the machines operate independently.
