Thanks George. I was beginning to feel unloved. ;-) I have been able to find some references to brave souls who have combined LEAF and Zebra through the Zebra mail list so I am following up there. Will let this list know if I learn anything useful.

Well, since it's been sitting for 3 days without a reply, I'll take a quick stab at it. Frankly, OSPF scares me on Ciscos, and they're at least sorta designed for it. =) I don't know too much about OSPF in general, but if you do, then from what I've been told the Zebra implementation is pretty easy for OSPF. I personally would rather use default route/weighted route methods rather than OSPF unless there's a pressing need to do so - such as the two routers mentioned happen to be in totally different locations topography-wise. Even then, it could be sticky. Not much help at all, I know, but at least a "we don't know" is better than no comment. -- George Metz Commercial Routing Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] "We know what deterrence was with 'mutually assured destruction' during the Cold War.
