Alan,
getting content from a central backend file storage or db servers is 
independant from your management system, because it's a local 
configuration issue of your file, web, dns servers. This is just a way 
to design your ISP's infrastructure.

The point is, that DTC doesn't have capabilities of provision your 
distributed hosts in such an environment with the necessary data (config 
files for apache, homedirs on your file server, ...)

What I found in the docs is:
* "it was primary written to held all the services in one server only"
* some hints how to distribute (actually copy on OS level) the locally 
generated files to other hosts, to support something like multi-host 
environments.

And that's just a ugly workaround...
