What is deem problematic with this approach, is that I do a configuration change and after putting the change into place I see that it fails by using configtest. Then I need to do a rollback of my configuration. I'm having very simple script to build my config, right now there is no backup or alike before the configuration. But is seems there is no other possibility and I need to implement some kind of rollback.
