So, I'm playing with some multiple routing table support.. the first version is a minimal impact version with very limited functionality. It's done that way so I can put it in RELENG_6/7 without breaking ABIs (I hope). Later there will be a more flexible version for-current. Here's the question.. I need a word to use to describe the network view one is currently on.. e.g. if you are usinghe second routing table, you could say I've set xxx to 1 (0 based).. current;y in my code I'm using 'universe' but I don't like that.. one could think of it as a routing plane.. each routing plane has he same interfaces on it but they are logically treated differently becasue each plane has a different routing table. so here's an axample of it in use now... the names should change... setuniverse 1 netstat -rn [shows table 1] setuniverse 2 route add 10.0.0.0/24 192.168.2.1 setuinverse 1 route add 10.0.0.0/24 192.168.3.1 setuniverse 2 route -n get 10.0.0.3 [shows 192.168.2.1] setuniverse 1 route -n get 10.0.0.3 [shows 192.168.3.1] setuniverse 2 start_apache [appache starts, always using 192.168.2.1 to reach the 10.0.0 net. also the syscall is setuniverse() so, you see I really need a better name.... setrtab? rtab? rtbl? and the command should be called "????"
