Thank you very much for pointing to the specific modules. That will help
focus my efforts.

I'm referring to the method of accessing closed external ports using a
predefined sequence of connection attempts across one or more ports. As
described in the Jun 2003 SysAdmin article, "The log is monitored for
specific port sequences that encode information used to modify firewall
rules, which are changed to open or close ports for a specific IP
address." I'm certain this will be possible using LEAF.

It was my understanding that BGP would take care of this. Maybe I didn't
accurately describe my parameters. When I said "fastest link" I meant
the one with the most available bandwidth at a given point in time.
Linux magazine recently had a pretty good article about dynamic routing
protocols.In the Mar 2004 issue it clearly describes load balancing
capabilities of BGP-4.

If my understanding of BGP is correct, what is it that you are saying is
not currently implemented?

Thank you for your detailed response.
