I'm not sure which is better. If there are different versions of Func
(or only modules) on minions (or on overlord) it will be a problem to
keep this in sync..
Yeah, I think it's a "don't care" at this point. 2 XMLRPC calls are not much
worse than 1.

Yes it could be a solution but it's not always possible. Sometimes
router is just a stupid box running some embedded OS and sometimes you
just can't or don't want to install anything on it..
Right, I'm not disagreeing. Most interest in Func is going to come from
datacenters/labs/grids/etc, where this won't need to exist.
If you are using it for "do something to my home machine" then it could be
useful. It's still easy enough to add so I don't see a reason for not doing
it for the home-setup with two servers behind a Linksys box case.
Actually I have seen multiple small networks behind NATs in a quite a few
instances. Satellite downlink stations, ship networks, customer colo
support. Amazon cloud also does NAT and public IP is extra cost.
Having a system be NAT neutral is good feature in general.

Yes, it would be cool to have an option to send template. Otherwise
default one stored in config file could be used.. (this allows creating
virtual host on couple servers at one time, each having slightly
different config).
