Narr. not nice - too easy for exim to start runnign a half altered
config... OK, sure best not to edit in place but..

You can do it with rdist!
Err. lets see...
Take an .rdist file of,
FILES = ( /opt/exim/etc/configure )
HOSTS = ( mserv0.my.net mserv1.my.net mserv2.my.net )
(${FILES}) -> (${HOSTS})
install ;
special ".update"
Then on the destination machines, in the user's directory that
rdist is running under put a script called .update,
#!/bin/sh
kill -HUP `cat /opt/exim/exim.pid`
Sore something liek this... I din;t use it for exim but for
RADIUS stuff.. a bit of playing you shol get it going OK.
Good luck
