Hi Michael, I've added the management interface field a while back. It was added for the buildiso feature so that Cobbler could create a valid isolinux boot line to setup static networking for multihomed systems.It can very well be used in other places.... but i'm not sure.
Anyway as I intended it; it's the interface that gets used for the provisioning process. You can specify more than one; there really is no input validation on that kind of stuff. Hope this helps. Cheers!
