I've also been thinking of a couple of extensions, partially because they=
 are
useful and partially because I haven't been coding in a while. Slightly
different than filter_audit would be something that checks for the existe=
nce and
linkage of the multiple maps Cisco requires for the modular quality of se=
rvice
interface.
<br>Perhaps as a less ambitious project, I've also considered writing a t=
ool
that gives a cross-reference to the appearance of certain IP addresses, f=
irst in
a single router configuration, and then across multiple configurations.
<br>Has anyone tried either of these? Is there interest? Is there another=
 tool
that does these functions?
