What I was thinking of was to use CVS as the synching mechanism.

However it's not very scalable if you have tons of web servers -- you
end up needing to log into each one and do 'cd /etc/httpd && cvs up &&
/etc/init.d/httpd restart'.  I used to (about 12 years ago) manage
some servers which were configured like this.

Puppet is going to be a better solution all round for this.
