Here's a question that Alan can answer:

If a node has a NIC that's not in the database, then the configuration that's
returned will return nothing for deleting the files for that NIC in
/etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts. So, when networking is restarted, those
new NICs will come up with whatever local network configuration is present,
yes?
