Subject: Admin API suggestions

1. Generalized query functions, e.g.

AdmQueryNodeNetworks (auth, vals)

Name            Type    Optional
vals            struct  yes
        node_id integer yes
        method  string  yes
        type    string  yes
        ip      string  yes
        mac     string  yes
        etc...

AdmGetAllNodeNetworks (auth, node_id)
== AdmQueryNodeNetworks (auth, { 'node_id': node_id }).

2. nodenetworks field additions:

	type	[ipv4|ipv6|proxy]	// add ipv6 and proxy as acceptable types
	name	[eth0|eth1|...|proxy0]	// suggested mapping to actual netdevice
