I have committed the base of teh Multi-routing-table support. I am current;y waiting for it to loop back to me before a final make universe test, but I think it should be ok. if you do nothing you should not see any difference. for a description of what and how, look at: http://perforce.freebsd.org/fileViewer.cgi?FSPC=//depot/user/julian/routing/plan.txt to compile it into a kernel you need options ROUTETABLES=N where N is from 1 to 16 leaving it out, or setting it to 1 will have the effect of creating a kernel that should behave as it did prior to this commit. In this work a kernel routing table is referred to as a 'fib' (Forwarding Information Base). I was informed by various routing people during this work that this is the new-fangled correct name for an in kernel routing(forwarding) table. for more information see setfib(1) and setfib(2) This code, backported to 6.3 is running on Ironport appliances and Cisco/Ironport has graciously allowed it to be given back. julian
