A big +1 on that. I think the way IPMP is using the kernel forwarding table is a kludge. The only question was whether we could make a particular known failure mode in the existing system work better without going for (or in addition to going for) the big solution. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
