Subject:   rc.d/rc.subr support for multiple FIBs
Message-ID:  <4B9A8B92.6050704@comcast.net>

With multiple FIB support generally available in FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE it 
would be quite beneficial to have the ability to build routing tables in 
secondary FIBs as well as start certain applications in certain FIBs 
from within rc.conf(5).

I've done some poking around and came across two PRs which implement 
exactly what I'm looking for:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=132483
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=132476

My question is whether there are any plans to commit these into -CURRENT 
and possibly MFC them to a future 8.x-RELEASE.  Having multiple FIBs 
available has been great so far, it goes hand and hand with Multi-IP 
Jails.  The only thing missing are native methods for constructing the 
routing tables on boot (Yes, there is rc.local, but I don't want to go 
there...).

Thanks,
Steve Polyack
