[c-nsp] Minimum Sun hardware requirement for running ACS

[Scott Altman]

Good to know, we have a seperate LEAP infrastructure and you are
correct in that current ACS doesn't support LEAP (not sure if v4
will).

Perhaps someone from Cisco could comment on these two product lines
and their market direction as it appears they have some significant
overlap, yet are still maintaining unique feature sets too.  Maybe the
old Enterprise vs. Service Provider thing coming into play again?
