Hi,

well, I think it's not. In a big network, there's a backbone and 
multiple networks connected to that backbone. The network the active 
directory servers are connected to is on of them. When there is a 
maintenance on this network, e.g. switching the ospf area or whatever, I 
want that the network administrators can administer the network devices 
in the other networks, which are not under maintenance and still 
working.
