With multiple FIB support generally available in FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE it would be quite beneficial to have the ability to build routing tables in secondary FIBs as well as start certain applications in certain FIBs from within rc.conf(5).

I've done some poking around and came across two PRs which implement exactly what I'm looking for:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=132483
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=132476

My question is whether there are any plans to commit these into -CURRENT and possibly MFC them to a future 8.x-RELEASE. Having multiple FIBs available has been great so far, it goes hand and hand with Multi-IP Jails. The only thing missing are native methods for constructing the routing tables on boot (Yes, there is rc.local, but I don't want to go there...).

Thanks,
Steve Polyack
