Yes, I am thinking about that. That is not trivial change. It will require changing all internal model from static to the dynamic one. But that change also should give many other bonuses so I would like to try. One of problems is more or less new config file syntax required. I have very limited cisco experience, so it is difficult for me to adopt their model to mpd, but I would not like to reinvent a wheel. I will be grateful for any ideas/examples of how do you see that. -- Alexander Motin
