I'm not sure I follow differently on client/server vs "configured per
host".   I see client/server as roles in a particular sync, not a
long-term property of a computer.

I can see two paths:

  - use some state directory following some standard, on the general
    principle that config and state (/etc and /var basically) should be
    separate) and just do it

  - make it configurable in the profile

for the second, we'd really want to have default profile support, read
before any named profile, and read even if no profile is in use, done
first.
