    hi nathan,

    you might also find the following implementation of interest:

    Net-Policy

    Net-Policy is a highly-scalable, role-and-policy based network management
    system. It distrubutes configuration to a network primarily through the SNMP
    protocol. (It's initial configuration mechanisms are designed for IPsec VPN
    management.)

    ciao
