The question is: Do all the routes really need to be flushed upon the destruction of an interface?
I've killed devd on my test machine (yesterday's RELENG_6) and done the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ifconfig vlan0 create [EMAIL PROTECTED] ifconfig vlan0 inet 10.1.1.1/30 [EMAIL PROTECTED] route add 10.2.2.0/24 10.1.1.1 add net 10.2.2.0: gateway 10.1.1.1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] nst -rn Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 193.108.47.145 UGS 0 64439 rl0 10.0.0.252/30 link#1 UC 0 0 fxp0 10.1.1/30 link#4 UC 0 0 vlan0 10.1.1.1 00:00:00:00:00:00 UHLW 2 0 lo0 10.2.2/24 10.1.1.1 UGS 0 0 vlan0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 0 lo0 193.108.47.144/29 link#2 UC 0 0 rl0 193.108.47.145 00:02:b3:8b:26:4a UHLW 2 20523 rl0 38 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ifconfig vlan0 destroy [EMAIL PROTECTED] nst -rn Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 193.108.47.145 UGS 0 64500 rl0 10.0.0.252/30 link#1 UC 0 0 fxp0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 0 lo0 193.108.47.144/29 link#2 UC 0 0 rl0 193.108.47.145 00:02:b3:8b:26:4a UHLW 2 20571 rl0 58 So it seems that just simple 'ifconfig vlan0 destroy' already takes care about all the routes via the defunct interface, and does this correctly. The question is whether interface auto-destruction code in kernel does the same. I don't have removable NIC hardware handy to check this.
