But as John Heffner and I both mentioned, it's pretty clear we should do this as a routing metric. Both for handling realistic scenerios where the sysctl doesn't work, and to help prevent misuse (example: someone decides that it would be _totally_ _awesome_ for "Carrier Grade Linux" to set this to 3 seconds by default in /etc/sysctl.conf and crap like that). - 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
