The delivery of the config files is interesting. There's nothing planning
in the gui at the moment for this. It's kind of an inverse "resources" idea
where you are building artifacts in the charm that you want clients to be
able to get access to. It's an interesting concept. It's a bit like actions
that generate a backup file or the like. The action can build the backup
and tell you where on disk it is, but then you need to juju scp it down. I
wonder if there's a specific action type that generates artifacts and then
there's a followup plugin/helper that automates the juju scp step for you
in a some nice way.

I think that Chuck was looking to have a relation available. In this way
you could tunnel traffic from an application across the VPN perhaps? In the
world of cross model relations it might enable folks to wire traffic across
clouds/DC in some interesting ways.
