this is my fear.  which is why i asked.  pushing out new configs
(the canonic config is on disk, not the router [0]) and setting a
reload of a bunch of routers at time t0 does not give me warm
fuzzies about what the world will be like at time tn (n > 0).

but i may have to take that path.  i am hoping folk will give me a
magic pill.  after all, any group with such a deep understanding of
how to deal with the world's social ills must know a bit of router
magic <smirk>.
