What are the semantics of the "-interface" flag to the route(8) command, with respect to point-to-point networks? The man page states: If the destination is directly reachable via an interface requiring no intermediary system to act as a gateway, the -interface modifier should be specified; the gateway given is the address of this host on the common network, indicating the interface to be used for transmission. Now suppose you renumber the link from, say 128.2.2.2 -> 128.2.2.1 to 128.2.2.2 -> 128.2.2.3. Will the route still work? Is it "supposed" to work? What if you change both addresses? Is the "-interface" flag appropriate at all for point to point links? How is a route specified with "-interface" different from a normal route? Thanks for any help. -Archie __________________________________________________________________________ Archie L. Cobbs, archie@tribe.com * Whistle Communications Corporation
