Let's not go too far here. As Vince pointed out, the work required is fairly minimal. It's not nothing. Particularly in IOS we do a parser check for Bogons, and this is done in other platforms as well. But still- the code involved is typically removing an entry from one or several tables. Regression will vary by platform, but that usually isn't done on a feature by feature case, and so the costs are not linear as you suggest. Eliot
