What "traditional configuration management tools" are you referring to,
and what makes you think they *can* do what you describe. I can imagine
a Continuus component that might be able to do this, but it is not
obvious to me how it would be integrated into the Continuus system,
and what I would be interested in is how this is done. if you have
successfully used a system that behaves as you describe above, can
you give more details?
