Thanks everyone for the help. I will certainly look into your suggestions. I wish I could elaborate more but I've been very busy.
Basically, I find myself typing the same information (IP address, subnet, broadcast, etc) in many different places. I will be rolling out about 20 leaf boxes. About 15 of them will have near identical configurations. It is important to keep things as abstract as possible. So I plan to use environment variables wherever possible. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Take Yahoo! Mail with you!
