Can a module route a package thru different modules > based on contents and state? you set up a 'web' of nodes to your own specification.. each node decides which connected node a packet will be routed out to.. you could (if you id it wrong, get an infinite loop with a packet looping around and around, but it's assumed that people setting this up wouldn't do that :-) we've had this code in heavy production for 2 years now. julian > > /Johan > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
