[pve-devel] rfc : pve-network : idea to generate and reload config accross the nodes

Yes, I have thinked a little bit more about it.

But I really would like to have some kind of verification before apply.

I'm not sure, as we could apply the change, the change is not apply on some nodes, 
then we do other changes.

Maybe:

1) do a change in vnet.cfg

2) the local daemon, could compute the md5 of the vnet.cfg and test if it's ok
and store it in 
/etc/pve/nodes/<node>/.networkconfigstatus.

(version:hash  status:validateok)

3) then we are able to apply configuration
 ...


This will avoid the "test button", as the daemon is always doing it on config change in background.

Can't we simply add a manual "apply" button for now? Just by using backup config files: 

vnet.cfg.new 
vnet.cfg 

?
