I dont think that you'll need to do it numerous times. Just once and only on
the affected routers only, and only if you see unwanted mappings.

And of course, there is a tradeoff between spending ages trying all kinds of
weird tricks in getting rid of unwanted mappings, and reloading the box once
(max of 5 minutes job) and getting rid of them in one go. If you feel that
you have enough spare time in the lab to fight the unwanted mappings without
reloading the box, then go ahead by all means.

I believe there is a HUGE difference between a CCIE LAB router, and a
production router where a reload can impact multiple customers. What good
would be a CCIE lab router if it cannot withstand a single (or maximum of 2)
reloads per day?

btw, home network is there to break things and to try different things out.
Whats the point of having a home network where you cant try scenarios that
you wouldnt dare try in a real (production/lab) environment in the fear of
breaking other things?

My $0.02.
