Do you want to know/control at which time it is being run?

Provided you have a password-less ssh-setup for accessing all clients,
this is what I would do:

for i in clients*
do 
  rsync newcronfile $i:/etc/cron.d
done

I have a number of such schemes where configs are distributed to 
multiple clients.  If you have a LOT of clients and speed matters,
there is also nettee and/or dolly.
