Yoo should check the available YaST modules. There had beem discussions
around this module on this list IIRC. If you do not find it yourself
you might open a support request as such support is included with SLES
too.

That is possible. But sooner or later you'll run in trouble with one of
the unsupported systems and then the brave guys of the support
department will detect this and reject your help request.
Think twice before you deploy an unsupported system for production use.
And even think twice about doing this in general. Payed service is the
base of the Open Source business model. If people fool with this they
might end without an alternative.

Thanks a lot for being a paying SLES customer. ;)
