Alia,

No, I don't have anything specific---my expertise is not in software
evaluation.  I was just concerned that Jeffrey's comment implied that 3
Routing Area directors could solve this problem.

Your response has assured me that some mechanisms are in place, and
(given that fact) I assume that these mechanisms will be refined over
time if the need arises.  :-)
