I think if there is any relationship between interface/address plumbing and milestone/network, it should be that milestone/network asserts that at least an attempt has been made to configure each interface as appropriate for the current profile. This will avoid a stampede of activity from well-written services that react to interface changes as they happen, give the best chance of success for poorly-written services that need interfaces/addresses to be configured before they start. -=] Mike [=-
