[AusNOG] Fwd: multi customer self manageable virtual router

[Skeeve Stevens]

David,

I'm not saying it can't be done, but it would be a tailored solutions.
 We've built a few similar things in the past which have a web interface
which allow for self management.  These have normally involved MDU
buildings and such environments - quite simple and passive locations.

Writing this sort of thing using the Junos API would be awesome.
