Is it possible to perform hierarchical routing? At one level router will route addresses in blocks of say 16K. Next level 1K and next level will handle any resolution. And then cache the route for the lifetime of connection. Reallocate country specific ips if required. I agree this sounds a lot like maintained/dedicated connection rather than switched connection but I believe each one has some good points. > Erhm, well, as and when that happens.

Directly stolen from BSD stacks, bent for backward compatiility and extensible for next generation of exploits. Book your back door today, just for $1M..;-) I guess microsoft is neglecting serious business opportunities. Not good as log term strategy..
