[c-nsp] GSS and ACE

[James Slepicka]

You can use the GSS without an ACE (or CSS, or IOS-SLB...).  You'll be 
limited to the basic keepalive checks (icmp ping, http head, etc.) to 
detect site availability; you won't be able to make load-based 
decisions, for example, but it will otherwise work fine.  I just use the 
http head check for a couple of web sites where a basic up/down check is 
all that's required (though I also use scripted KALs where more complex 
decisions need to be made).
