Claim:
1. A method for updating configuration settings for a plurality of server nodes, the method comprising: modifying configuration data at a first server node; registering the modified configuration data within a hierarchical configuration data object stored within a central database, the hierarchical configuration data object to store a representation of current configuration data associated with each of the server nodes; communicating an indication of the modification to one or more other server nodes; reading configuration data corresponding to one or more hierarchical levels of the hierarchical configuration data object, the read configuration data being a proper subset of the hierarchical configuration data object and corresponding to a specified server node of the other server nodes, to identify the modified configuration data, comparing the read configuration data to the configuration data of the specified server node, and determine if the configuration data stored on the specified server node is to be modified; and communicating the modified configuration data from the central database to at least one of the other server nodes in response to a determination that the configuration data stored on the specified server node is to be modified.
