If you read my message, I said "yes" to testing the configs prior to going live with them. Unfortunately our testing does not turn up all of the problems we encounter on our backbone since it is very difficult to generate an accurate environment to simulate our backbone.
Did you have a backout plan in place to rapidly fall back in case of failure?
