In the case of routed, it scans the list of interfaces periodically for changes. For gated, it has a socket open for up/down change events and takes care of business as soon as it sees the change. I'm inclined to think that this functionality should stay in the route daemon where it has always been since deleting the routes to the interface may not be the correct course of action. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
