[lug] remote management hardware?

[Will]

I've had good luck with Belkin IP KVMs and APC managed power distribution
units.  You can also buy lights out HBAs to add to servers after the
fact. With a managment HBA you loose the centralized managment of an IP KVM
and they are much more expensive but you gain the ability to boot/install
from a CD/DVD over the internet.
