Really?  I'd have thought it's an ideal application for an
otherwise-"unsupportable" box.  There shouldn't be any customer traffic
going anywhere near it; in fact, something upstream should be dropping
packets not from your management network before they get close.  And if
you can't make a pretty good guarantee not to generate malicious traffic
from your management network, you have other problems...

Maybe I'm thinking of a different deployment scenario to you though.

Tim.
