Yes, fib_sync_down(), but even when I remove the code setting RTNH_F_DEAD I still see _some_ local routes disappearing which I cannot explain right now. I can only reproduce this with !CONFIG_IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES though. Assuming this is a separate bug, I'm not sure if this is the right way to fix it. I think it would be better to rewrite the preferred source address of all related local routes and only perform a remove-and-add on the secondary address being promoted. _If_ we let them die, we should announce it in fib_sync_down() rather then in the algorithm specific flush routines. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
