But didn't you say that you effectively wipe the database once a month, (or expire entries over that age)? I can't find the post that mentioned that now, naturally... :-) if you aren't using the 'key' as a database key, then what do you care that it changes as long as it uniquely identifies the system (which it definitely would)? I don't know how typical I am, but I don't really remember the last time I added an IP alias on a running server, for our few dozen production systems. I would imagine that those types of changes might well be lost of systems coming and going. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
