Thanks for the reply Roland - Our main issue is that we have a legacy billing 
platform, that utilises netflow data (So we can bill customers for 
consumption).....we are obviously moving away from this, as it simply does not 
scale, and is excruciatingly difficult to administer/maintain.

Not having to apply netflow on "every" interface would help our provisioning 
guys....they occasionally forget this(Yes, this is an internal 
system/procedural issue...but its what we've got to work with currently), cust 
has no outbound usage, have to enable it, but we cant retrospectively "capture" 
the netflow data....so we lose billing data for the time netflow hadnt been 
enabled on a given Int.

Was hoping we could scale back "where" we enable netflow, just to simplify 
things.
 
Ultimately, we want to move completely away from netflow for billing, and bill 
on fixed rate pipe and 95%....but huge job, lots of legacy customers on old 
netflow plans, so we must continue to support this until we can completely move 
away from it....i.e it will take quite a bit of time :)

No, this is still not a good idea. You could do egress with classic v9,
but it wasn't a good idea then, either.

What's the objection to simply enabling ingress on the relevant
interfaces?
