Jim - We're starting to see customers using Splunk for similar use 
cases. By being able to identify changes in any file automatically, you 
can easily meet your requirements for *nixes, routers and switches as 
well by indexing a repository of these configuration files.

Splunk's file system change monitor is available today in Splunk 
Preview, downloadable from http://www.splunk.com/index.php/preview

Documentation on the file system change monitor is available here:

Best,
Mark
