Local cache of /etc/pve ?

Hi all,

I would like to know if, when a node (which is part of a cluster) starts, it has a local cache copy of /etc/pve before joining cluster ?

In fact, I would like to use /etc/pve to store configuration files, but I need it to configure network (so it has to be done before joining cluster).

Is it possible ?

If it's not, I will make it with rsync or something else.

Thank you ;)
