Hi 'secondary' switch could be used for that, but note that when used for BGP, it does not change forwarding table. It is useful for route servers, but less for policy routing and forwarding. If you are using route A, but propagating route B to your peer, then if you receive network traffic from the peer, it is still routed according to route A (unless you do some other tricks). To have proper forwarding with policy routing, you generally would need two kernel routing tables, appropriate policy routing rules, two BIRD routing tables connected with pipe (with appropriate filtering on the pipe) and two BIRD kernel protocols synchronizing BIRD tables with kernel tables. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'Santiago' Zajicek (email: santi...@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
