I read a bit about VIMAGE (http://imunes.tel.fer.hr/virtnet/). No, I don't see the need for complete virtualization of network interfaces etc. I *would* very much like separate routing tables. If you look at a traditional router from Cisco, Juniper or similar, they offer separate routing tables without virtualizing everything. Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no
