A method that will not require too much knowledge about the CUPS internals 
would be:
Define one of the servers running CUPS as the master server.
Whenever modifying the master server's configuration, shut down all the cups 
servers (including the master cups) and use rsync to distribute the modified 
configuration to the other servers. Then restart all cups instances.
You only need to know the files which may be affected by a configuration 
change.
