I think someone mentioned a long time ago that a VRF is not an interface/driver/net_device but rather a separate routing table with a dedicated set of interfaces, iirc :-) :-) In the latter model, if you wanted to dump a VRF table, you'd only lock that table, and walk it, instead of holding up other VRFS sorry, could not resist my i-told-you-so moment :-P --Sowmini
