Caught me oversimplifying again ... :-) :-) I just didn't walk folks getting the idea that this was really a bug in routed, and since they don't run routed they needn't worry about it. It takes a bgp/gated router about 7 to 10 days to suffer catastrophic failure from this leak problem depending on the global route churn rate, or at least thats what _was_ happening to us here. I'll know for sure in another day or two when I compare kernel route table size to object counts. -- Rod Grimes - KD7CAX @ CN85sl - (RWG25) rgrimes@gndrsh.dnsmgr.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
