I use a single sudoers file to manage 32 servers.  Each group of people
have certain rights on certain computers - some common to all, some
specific to a box.  Pretty simple once you get the hang of it.  The
sample that comes with the package is a good template to follow.

One final note: Use "visudo" to edit your suders file.  It performs an
idiot check (ie, sanity check) to make sure your sudoers file makes
sense.  Trust me - if you forget your root password and subsequently
booger up sudoers, you get the opportunity to recover the root password
the hard way.
