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.)
