I'll give Puppet a shot.
I'm currently trying out CFEngine, and I am having a really hard time wrapping my head around the syntax.
Thanks for your input! Anymore input from anyone else would be greatly appreciated as well. Thanks!

PUPPET-MASTER(8) Puppet manual PUPPET-MASTER(8)
NAME
puppet-master - The puppet master daemon
SYNOPSIS
The central puppet server. Functions as a certificate authority by default.
USAGE
puppet master [-D|--daemonize|--no-daemonize] [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [-l|--logdest file|console|syslog] [-v|--verbose] [-V|--version]
[--compile node-name]
DESCRIPTION
This command starts an instance of puppet master, running as a daemon and using Ruby's built-in Webrick webserver. Puppet master can also
be managed by other application servers; when this is the case, this executable is not used.
OPTIONS
Note that any configuration parameter that's valid in the configuration file is also a valid long argument. For example, 'ssldir' is a
valid configuration parameter, so you can specify '--ssldir directory' as an argument.
See the configuration file documentation at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/configuration.html for the full list of acceptable
parameters. A commented list of all configuration options can also be generated by running puppet master with '--genconfig'.
--daemonize
Send the process into the background. This is the default.
--no-daemonize
Do not send the process into the background.
--debug
Enable full debugging.
--help Print this help message.
--logdest
Where to send messages. Choose between syslog, the console, and a log file. Defaults to sending messages to syslog, or the console
if debugging or verbosity is enabled.
--verbose
Enable verbosity.
--version
Print the puppet version number and exit.
--compile
Compile a catalogue and output it in JSON from the puppet master. Uses facts contained in the $vardir/yaml/ directory to compile the
catalog.
EXAMPLE
puppet master
DIAGNOSTICS
When running as a standalone daemon, puppet master accepts the following signals:
SIGHUP Restart the puppet master server.
SIGINT and SIGTERM
Shut down the puppet master server.
SIGUSR2
Close file descriptors for log files and reopen them. Used with logrotate.
