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.
