Thank you for your input, but IP-addresses will change, so this would

Jonas.

For another .02, it would be a "best practice" where applicable to provision
your phones locally, then send them to your remote locations.  If that's not
a good solution, another easy solution would be to make a "pocket server"
(ISO on thumb drive or vmware) to allow "movable, pseudo-local"
provisioning.
