That is an interesting idea. It will satisfy the security-in-transit requirements pretty nicely. That just leaves compiling OpenSSL, stunnel, and rsync for multiple version of HPUX/Solaris/Linux and getting it all working reliably. Not the ideal situation, but it may work.
Note that CFEngine isn't copying all that much data on any particular run either, its just the operation to check if it *should* copy the data that is taking a long time.
