A couple of nights ago, I came up against the limits of both my knowlege and also the FreeBSD documentation I have available to me (which includes a copy of `The Complete FreeBSD'). (It was actually a rather annoying experience... not only to not know, but seemingly not to be able to find out the things I wanted to know.) Ok. So where can I go to learn everything there is to know about routing in relation to FreeBSD (2.2.x and later)? Specifically, I'd like to know a lot more about all of those funny things I see when I do "netstat -n -r". In particular, I'd like to learn all about "cloning", the loopback interface, what things might cause a link to be marked as "down", and also the underlying mechanics that come into play when one assigns multiple IP addresses to a single networking card. (A lot of this stuff seems to be in the "black art" category. Bu that's just my impression.)
