It sounds like a mis-communication on everyones' parts. I've come across plenty of systems-oriented people who believe the behaviour of network edge devices is what you've said - because various hosts (eg Linux) treat sockets, routing, ethernet active/standby, etc a specific way and this is not how "traditional" routing/edge devices behave. :) Adrian
