In that case it would probably be fine, but it doesn't address the Fishworks clustering case I mentioned. It also seems like we're just pushing the lump around under the carpet. If the goal is to prevent applications from tripping over non-IFF_UP addresses, they can be omitted by default with SIOG[L]IFCONF, no? -- meem _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
