Yep my question is a non sense.

Wow such a debate here. I have no core switch and unfortunately not so 
much free port on my routers. (and is not going to change)
My topologies is multi pop, but with a classical design, edge routers, 
core router, and aggregation routers (RR clients).
I have some port on edge, and aggregation routers, but not on core 
router which are my preferred placement...

Yep all our servers have management and oob access. No problem on this part.
I will study the juniper 'shadow host', look interesting but a bit 
complicated.
