The lists are distributed by DNS. They use dig on the router to download them. I assume by "ephemeral" database, you mean "configure dynamic" to edit the dynamic-db? Unfortunately, it appears that dynamic-db only works for BGP policies, not firewall filters. Also, a bigger problem IMO is that the dynamic database is not synchronized to the backup RE. Do you have any clever workarounds for either of these two limitations? Thanks. _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
