I'd like to be able to templatize a server, add a bunch of new handsets 
into sip.conf and extensions.conf, and then plug the phones into a 
network and have some DHCP and/or TFTP "glue" logic that sees the DHCP 
or TFTP request, and from it generates a boot file (an .XML file) and a 
response parameter list for DHCP... populates a file into the /tftpboot/ 
directory, etc.

How viable is this?

I'd like it to be lightweight enough that it could be done on some of 
the smaller embedded Asterisk boxes (like the 400MHz SoHo units).

Thanks,
