Long ago I did a 2.4 patch that solved exactly this problem. It introduced a new ifconfig flag "dynamic" and when a dynamic address went down all TCP connections originating from it were killed. It's still available in older SUSE releases. I might post a forward port later. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
