For example: [ ... ] > Should't all routes via bge0 be deleted after link on bge0 goes down? Maybe. If the system was not going to be reconnected to that network anytime soon, it would be a good idea. On the other hand, if the link down was due to a transient failure of a wireless connection, which will be back up in a second or two, it's much better not to drop the route and kill any open connections. -- -Chuck
