Its up to you to deploy the *.ring.gz files when they're created or updated. The system doesn't automatically deploy them itself.

After i add a new storage node to the ring entry,must i manually copy the new *ring.gz to that newly added storage node?
Swift is able to sync the partitions of object accross zones, so i suspect it could automatically sync some config file (for example:*.ring.gz) between proxy node and storage nodes.
