Thanks for your replies on this. I have a over shot the mark a bit

What seems much more important is automatic config generation. Even if
via a dirty fudge I think I can force the confif onto the router
automatically whatever the weather so before that I really need
automatic config generation (from templates seems to be the best way
thinking through the process).
Does anyone have a tool like this they can show me (privatly off list
even)? Are there any comercial products that do this? Open source
ones?
I use a fairly simple Bash script for spitting out CPE configs. All I do
is feed it a circuit ref and size of the customer subnet, it then works
out the IP addresses for the interfaces & BGP config before a chunk of
heredoc ready to be pasted onto the router. Most of the time taken to
write it was learning about Bash's variable substitutions, reckon you
could knock up something similar in your preferred scripting language.
