yep, just thought I'd post the entire file. I have a weird quirk
where I set lladdr on network interfaces to Western Digital OUI
values, allows me to look at network device cam tables for my
systems.

yep, I was part of a thread on @tech where this was discussed. To
many years in network engineer where you explicitly bring an
interface / port online.

yep, the "issue" is the order interfaces are brought up, pair0
comes up first, but I can't put "patch pair44" in that config
because pair44 isn't up yet. I realize "patch pair44" isn't
required, it is an artifact from the typo that took 6 days to
discover.

yep, I should remove "!ifconfig pair0 patch pair44" from
/etc/hostname.pair44 . Because I want the route added when the pair
comes up I have to be aware of consistent destroy / add interfaces.
thanks for your input,
