One caveat to anyone thinking about scp'ing config.boot files around: you 
need to make sure to change the interface hw-id parameters to represent 
the MAC address of the box it's running on, not the box from which it was 
copied.

I once spent most of a day troubleshooting what I thought was a buggy NIC 
in my backup router after copying the config from my primary box. 
Couldn't for the life of me figure out why the interfaces kept 
disappearing on reboot. :)
