Well, I just did the same change in my sources. I also changed the
proc GetIpAddress to accept GROUP objects and it seems to work. Well,
there might be some other places in the scripts where a NODE object is
expected. How much work it is depends on how familiar you are with Tcl
so I can't give you an answer for your question.

See above - it depends.

I don't know exactly. GetIpAddress and ForeachIpNode seem to be a good
start.

Note, GROUP objects were originally meant as simple container objects
and hence they don't have an address attribute. This might create
problems - however, I think you should be able to go ahead by using
the name attribute.
[I am now wondering if your change might be of general
interest. People with 250 ciscos can't be wrong. :-)]
