Yes, that would be one simple solution.

Well, i wouldn't have this new transport look at a file that is
formatted like passwd.client. What I would do is look for some data that
is unique to the router, perhaps even the router name, then create a new
file format which uses that as the key for a lookup, and that goes in
the transport.
