I just tried that - apparently NWAM plumbs these links as well, so now
zone is unhappy.
The solution could be to add "ignore" option to configuration file
(/etc/nwam/llp) to skip such interfaces, but that can easily go beyond
the "trivial fix" threshold.
Thanks, anyhow. I know how to fix my own problem and can wait until
NWAM Phase 1.
