I've been doing this for a while now - since that added the buildworld and installworld client, I have been able to do this. Building 'world' as a single target used to hang sometimes. First time, though, I would try doing 'make installworld' in multi-user mode and then dropping to single user mode to finish. Then your downtime is probably 15 minutes at most.

I.e. for the build server, going to single-user mode, doing make buildworld, make installworld, building a new kernel and rebooting. For the clients, going single-user, mounting /usr/src and /usr/obj via NFS and doing make reinstall. Here's my question: do I really need to go single-user? It makes the downtime significantly greater (particularly for the build server). Will Bad Things happen if I do the make installworld on a live box?
