Yep, sorry was a bit of a brain dump. :) Thanks for your comments. This basically tells me that archive doesn't have any super awesome features that we don't already get from RANCID, and that its not completely solid yet (re 6500). Syslog command logging though is 100 times more convenient than TACACS for short term requirements, while TACACS+gzip+disk storage sorts out the long term/compliance requirements.

At the moment, ~rancid/var lives on NFS, and the machine does a bunch of other things that chew resources. I've got plans on improving this, but one disaster at a time. :)

Rgds,
