  Hrm, would this be secure if we are talking about a server which is 
exposed to the net from a datacenter? I do tftp locally but behind firewall.

  I think to start, might be better to forget about the SOAP/XMLRPC and 
look more towards the basic concept. Like, add device provision controls 
into Admin area which then stores to DB and then from there, anything 
can happen.

  That makes sense, though exposing tftp to the world is dangerous. 
Wouldn't http/s be better here?

  Ya, I'm thinking automated for sure. Dynamically though.

  Feel free to join Jeremie and I, what target device(s) do you have 
on-hand there for testing?
