title: Ideas for enterprise configuration
body: <p>I'm in the middle of building a very large enterprise application.</p>
  
  <p>I have main machine that controls all the other machines.</p>
  
  <p>now I'm about to start writing some admin capabilities as configuration manager.</p>
  
  <p>in each server I have some services and each service has some variable that I would like to be configurable.</p>
  
  <p>I thought maybe to add an xml configuration file to each service (it would be read when the service starts up) and when I will do configuration distribution I will change that xml file with the new configuration data.</p>
  
  <p>I will also need a way to restart the service in order to get the new configuration.</p>
  
  <p>My question is:</p>
  
  <p>Is there any better way do accomplish enterprise configuration ability?
  if my Idea is good any tips and improvement will be great.</p>
