leader/follower is the other option that came to my mind, and that I think captures the nature of the secondary links (that they follow the configuration of the primary link). That's what I think tow is trying to get at (and I agree that tow reads oddly in English, as a word that I wouldn't expect to see in a technical context and for which the analogy is not immediately obvious). -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
