Greetings folks. I was working out a RFE with mpdehaan in #cobbler this
morning, and he thought I should post it here to get other folks input.

I think it would be a great addition to be able to define network profiles
for systems/profiles, etc.
A network profile would consist of :
subnet mask default gateway dns server
hmm - that's an interesting idea. that would make IP'ing workstations
here a little easier, and less error prone.
it would be very helpful for sites that have a ton of VLANs - with this
method you could have your senior admins create profiles for all your
VLANs ahead of time - then easily have your junior admins assign network
profiles based on the location of a desktop for example (we use a
separate VLAN for each teleco closet here - and system moves are pretty
frequent unfortunately).

In the background, my guess is that the information is still stored the
same way, and if a network profile is changed, systems that use it are
synced whenever a cobbler sync occurs.
Yea that would be best I think - you may want to make these changes to
many systems for example, but only have dhcpd change it's config after a
sync.
great idea!
