Yes and no. We have private IP's routed on our network assigned to the L7 interface on each router. That way we can always reach the router for monitoring/maintenance as long as one external interface is up. It was a convenient place to put the !~#x designation which is the total number of interfaces with !~@ that should be seen (not necessarily the total number of interfaces). > Interesting design. Have you released that plugin? I hadn't considered it as I didn't think the problem to be widespread and because it requires very specific router configuration. That being said, we've been using it for over a year and a half now for ~350 routers successfully. Pending a code review I don't think that I would be opposed to sharing it. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
