I suppose if your network was so unreliable this was a common problem,
you'd want to automate that in some way.

It really depends on the exports - whether they are
real-time/transactional or batch.  For example, a "bind" or "sysvshell"
or "bsdshell" export is always "from scratch", i.e. "update to current
state".

On the other hand, exports such as "shellcommands" or "sqlradius" are
real-time/transactional.  You can re-run the provisioning for a set of
real-time/transactional exports using the freeside-reexport command.
