Another thing you can do, which is also very ugly: point more-specifics directly to the LAN interface on the HSRP master. Like this: interface GigE 1/3 ip addr 10.1.1.252 255.255.255.0 standby ip 10.1.1.254 ip route 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.128 gige 1/3 ip route 10.1.1.128 255.255.255.128 gige 1/3 this will force the traffic to be symmetric *if* the "master router" is up and well-behaved - or if it's completely down. If the "master router" is acting as HSRP slave, it will force the traffic to be 100% asymmetric. So: I would also like to see a feature where a HSRP/VRRP passive interface gets removed from the RIB and FIB. And yes, one would need to have a "local policy" exception so that HSRP packets can still be sent and received. gert -- USENET is *not* the non-clickable part of WWW! //www.muc.de/~gert/ Gert Doering - Munich, Germany [EMAIL PROTECTED] fax: +49-89-35655025 [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
