If you could specify the machine's IP address(es) in a single place and hit the "Update globally" button, that would be great, provided it really worked of course :)

The "update globaly" could come naturaly if redundant configs are avoided in the meta-config-files. I.e. instead of creating a new hostname or IP address entity all meta-config should reference to the primary entry for example in /etc/hostname available in another CFG section. It should be easy to make references in meta-config-files for example to a enumerated list of available interfaces on the system for the "bind to" property of server processes that will then show up in the frontends. Options should be detemineable from other CFG entries or from executing external scripts/programs from within the meta-config-definition that can do other tasks and probes.

This way also a "status information" can be displayed in frondends with a special property that holds the probed status.
