> 1) You can't export and re-import a config. Just doesn't work.

Besides normal archives (that are just tgz files) or manual config changes and re-loading, try "(tmsh) load sys config merge from-terminal (or file)". It is going to be a gamechanger. ;-) Takes any config snippet from "(tmsh) list..." or the bigip.conf files without rewriting into create/modify statements and add/replace-all-with blocks. No problem to import even large configs like 100KB at once, all as an atomic transaction.
