Hi!

A brief, positive update.

The fixed was included in CURRENT on December the 17th, and I can
report that OpenBSD now happily runs under the "default gateway in a
different subnet" scenario used at OVH Hosting.

Great work, Martin and everyone!

I'd also like to give credit to Zion VPS whose superb customer care
helped in locating the reason for the "temporary incompatibility"
between OpenBSD and OVH Hosting's platform. I've been advocating
OpenBSD to them, volunteering in creating the necessary automatic VPS
configuration scripts they need in order to provide the same "purchase
and it's already up" experience, this far available only to their Linux
customers. It may be that Zion VPS soon has OpenBSD as one of the
default choices for OS - this test/fix operation was supported by some
additional manual work by the Zion VPS staff. The service itself is
available already even though the automation is still missing; you'll
just have to ask the Zion VPS customer care to "add a custom ISO" to
your VPS host, and provide them with a link to the latest CURRENT
installation ISO. The installation process itself (as long as it has to
be handled manually) is handled over a browser based VNC session.

Yours,

Jyri
