Lesson plan

ISconf

In computing, ISconf is a software tool to manage a network of servers. ISconf operates on a pull model, meaning even servers that are not up when a change is made will receive the change once they come back up. As of version 4, ISconf requires no central server, though it does expect all servers to start identically, which is easiest to accomplish using some form of automated install which may require a central server.
