I wrote a cluster management tool for a Linux distribution that used
this approach; the XSLT files generated all configuration files for
hosts in the cluster from a master set of XML files (which was
generated from a GUI; not created by hand; I don't like editing XML by
hand). It also dealt with filling in any unique information for each
host.

The benefits of this approach seemed to increase as the number of
hosts you were generating from a single set of config files
increased. It would have been a fairly painful way of setting up one
machine vs. just editing a few configuration files, but it was a
pretty nice way to generate configs for 128 nearly-identical machines.
