Yes. I know this is a ton of roles to manage.

Another thing to point out is that the Juniper UI makes it really easy to manage all of this stuff on the concentrator 
side.  Now, keep in mind that we did our eval/comparison back in 2007, and the gap has likely closed somewhat between 
then and now, but back then Juniper was light years ahead of everyone else in terms of ease of management.  In our 
eval, I had the thing up and running in under an hour, authenticating to our LDAP directory and assigning people to 
different roles based on LDAP attributes.  The other boxes we tried took close to half a day each.
