In this certain example it depends on how you want to restrict access.  
If you do it with configuration files, you'd have to do it on all  
server, if through the permission system, you do it once, because the  
data is stored in the central sql server (cluster).
Basically everything that needs to be done in configuration files, on  
the file system, or in the webserver or php configuration has to be  
done on all horde servers.
