Well I am thinking of a modular tool that can be used in any environment that is specific to LTM and maybe GTM that can be standalone or plug into some of these bigger cloud management systems out there. ( like eucalyptus for example) Also maybe add in functionality for monitoring and statistics of these devices... I have built custom solutions as you speak of above myself but this would be not only platform independent but could be easily used by any language... I guess the best way to put it would be you could throw this thing anywhere and everyone from noc people to more advanced engineers could use it.
Anyway thanks for the response...
