The idea we came with was based on embedded systems so keep that in mind with
regard to some ideas... SNMP was a short-term available answer to managing the
devices et al.

As soon as we come up with a reasonable modularity scheme.

Basically it's something like Matt proposed but it ennumerates and depends
rather in a different style. Cisco fans (and in lesser Shiva/ShivOS fans) might
recognise the modularity built-up of the devices and other relevant
configuration `files'. 

One thing was to access this configuration `database' by means of HTTP, CLI or
SNMP.
