This is seriously flawed, IMHO. I'd encourage my competitors to do it:
after the master image gets corrupted all it takes is a bozo tripping
the right circuit breaker and the entire POP is kaput.

QOS, priority/custom queueing are all KERNEL/underlying
OS functions.

This also is flawed, IMHO. What if you want to do queing or QOS based on
BGP?
