I would love to see a Vyatta based router as well, and they have a RESTful API (which is both good and bad given the mixture of tools. But making use of a REST interface on a virtual router opens up the ability to integrate with other vendors who have virtual router/firewall appliances.

Vyatta provides great L3-L4 support with good number of features and interface. If there is a doc on how to create and integrate your system offering - that would be great.

I'm also interested in swapping out ha_proxy for nginx so the lb feature can support SSL termination. Currently building my own VRs as guest VMs on shared networks for that feature. Is the community thinking about proper ssl endpoints and offloading?
