It is the responsibility of the routing process to manage which specific route is installed in the kernel forwarding table at any given time. (FreeBSD's `routed' can do this in some instances.) FreeBSD does not directly support multiple static routes to a given destination, since it has no knowledge which would enable it to choose among them; again, a routing process can be used to manage this. -GAWollman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
