I think remote management is a nice feature.  We have two Sun boxes that
run our primary and secondary nameservers, and the LOM has been very
useful during the first couple days of setting them up, but after that,
we haven't had to touch them in the last 485 days.  However, we have
easy access to our datacenter here so remote management isn't all that
important for us.  Still a good feature for many I'm sure.
