[cisco-voip] Feature Request *gasp*

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

I haven't raised this ugly beast in a while since I had all but given up that there's a chance. 

Has anyone had any luck recently getting a true customer feature request implemented into a Cisco product? I don't mean a feature that you requested that happened to be on their list of things to do, but something they didn't think about, you thought about, and were able to get them to acknowledge the idea and bring it forward. 

CIPTUG had tried to get this going a while back with some promising results but it didn't really go anywhere. When I looked at the Collaboration Group feature request documents they were years old with no updates. 

The biggest one I have right now is to move any admin pages onto a different port than the user pages. Right now, we use a reverse proxy to protect the admin pages. But even that is complicated because some of the user pages use resources from the admin directories, rather than a shared resource directory. This will work for now, but more and more things won't work with reverse proxies and will need direct access. I just shudder at the thought of someone typing in the URL without any path and landing on a page that announces where the admin pages are. 

Web apps have been separating admin pages and user pages for ever, not sure why Cisco continues to keep them running on the same port. 

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
