1.  Is VIF support NIC specific?  I have a test box, with one built-in 100Mb/s 
forcedeth (NForce2) interface, and a couple of cheap Realtek 8169 PCI 1000Mb/s 
interfaces.  All work fine without VIFs, but when I try to add a VIF to the 
r8169 cards, the commit fails (and all subsequent commits of any type until a 
reboot).  Adding VIFs to the onboard Nforce NIC works fine.  Is there a list 
somewhere of what cards work with VIFs or is this perhaps something else?

2.  Also, are there any plans for a web service interface as an alternative to 
the CLI.  The scenario would be wanting to control the router(s) externally 
from another custom management app.  For instance, I'd like to be able to 
connect to the router via a secure channel from my app, and create a new VIF 
and a few NAT and FW rules for it, etc.  I can see how this might be hacked by 
reverse engineering the inputs to xgcgi in your existing web interface and 
feeding it with curl or something similar over https, but a standard web 
services interface would be much nicer.  Does libxorp already have something 
like this?

3.  After I get the VIFs working properly, I'm going to test the VRRP stuff.  
One question that doesn't seem to be covered in the VRRP documentation that 
I've been wondering about - do the configs auto update between master and 
slave(s) or is the user responsible for manually editing the configs on all 
machines in the group to keep things in sync?

Thanks,  Jeff
