Greetings, It’s very cool to hear you guys are interested in separate routing. > Having multiple stacks duplicates a lot of structures for each stack > which don't have to be duplicated.

Running multiple routing daemons isn’t too much of a problem though. The memory size isn’t usually very high, and it is more likely to be secure if the daemons are separate. If somebody was going to run a large instance of routing they should probably use a router, not a unix box. Regards, Dave Seddon
