It is possible that he means other thing useful. As example, in hosting
solutions with a numbers of hosting on each server, keeping configuration of
each service (as usual - dns, mail, http (dynamic & static content), ftp,
telnet/ssh, some kind of sql) in decentralized files are not too simply. I
never seen systems (but had try to build) that will keep configuration for
such hosting centralized database (possible with simply export to usual
configuration files).
For instance in such tree:
----------------------[begin of instance]---------------------------
1) Agreement information
a. Contact information
b. Agreement number
c. Expire date
d. ...
2) DNS
a. Allowed
b. Primary "superns1.superhosting.com"
c. Secondary "superns2.superhosting.com"
d. Name zone 1 (SOA entry)
i. Entry
ii. ...
e. Name zone 2
i. Entry (MX)
ii. Entry (IN A)
iii. ...
3) Mail
a. SMTP
i. Disallowed
ii. ...
b. POP3
i. Allowed
ii. ...
4) Web Hosting
a. Allowed server "apache043.superhosting.com"
i. Root dir "$HOME_APACHE043/user/htdocs"
ii. CGI dir "$HOME_APACHE043/user/cgi-bin"
iii. ...
5) Ftp
a. Allowed server "apache043.superhosting.com"
b. ...
6) Telnet/SSH
a. Disallowed
7) SQL
a. PostgreSQL
i. Disallowed
b. MySQL
i. Allowed server apache043.superhosting.com"
1. Data dir "/home/user/sql/data"
2. Used local socket "/home/user/sql/sock.tmp"
3. Network socket "disallowed"
4. Bin dir
5. ...
----------------------[end of instance]----------------------
What about such centralized configuration systems?
