I use puppet to run my web servers, but I use it in more of an "Apache, create websites X, Y & Z" fashion. Part of that process does create all the requisite folders and setup an rsync from the "web master" share to all the web servers. So, in effect puppet is controlling it all, but really it is up to the devs to not screw up deploying their code to the share. > .
