See the commit message for http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/net/route.c version 1.129 (svn change # 178888) for more info. Obtained from: Ironport (Cisco Systems) ---------------------------- so, no. there is not a usable patch for 7.1. I am not very familiar with the implications of this change. Is it feasable to just ignore it and use row 0 of rt_tables[][] ? Or do I need to do something more sophisticated? what are the chances of getting this patch updated, or even better, completed & committed? i have neither the time nor the knowledge to attempt to code the IPv6 bits, but I would be willing to test (for IPv4) on a production firewall pair, and maybe try v6 on a test network. tom
