It's not quite there as it currently stands, but I'd say that quagga is fairly close to being it. So long as the code isn't too awful (I've never looked), any such development efforts might be best applied there. It should not be overly difficult to enhance quagga to handle more than the basic routing configuration it currently does. It has all the necessary infrastructure for doing the interesting things, like responding to changes in the availability of network interfaces. (Plus, it would be better to have *one* good routing configuration package, rather than a different package for static and automatic routing mechanisms) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
