See RFC 1256. Supposedly FreeBSD `routed' already does this. When you have multiple routers in your network this ought to be better than hardwiring a default gateway on your hosts. But you shouldn't need to run RIP or OSPF on your hosts. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
