Sorry for going OT but how do you manage that many systems? I guess
you're an ISP and maybe they serve different domains and don't have to
be in sync?

If you have a good way of keeping configs in sync I'm sure many here
would be interested. Maybe you can start a new thread so this one don't
get ruined.
