[c-nsp] Device management in VRFs

Anyone,

                I'm wondering if there are any open feature requests or bugs for cleaning up the remaining things that don't seem to work in VRFs.  I've resorted to the idea of using the global table for management on 6500s and other devices for various things that don't like VRFs.  But now I run into the newer 4500 sups that have the dedicated 10/100 management port.  These ports are locked into a VRF called mgmtVrf.  Can't change it.  Find out there are some important things that aren't possible using a VRF, such as SSH client (can't connect to a host in a VRF) or pretty much any file copy operation initiated from the switch.  It'd be nice to use those ports since they're usable from ROMMON for remote recovery (we've got term servers attached), but this file copy feature is pretty important.  Any idea?

Thanks,

Chuck
