If it was there at v2.1 - "you tell us, you're the only one that has been around back then" :-) (Most likely it's just using the same function for "stick a number to it and build an environment string containing an IP address" that is used for route_1, route_2, ...) > - should we update the man page to reflect this? Actually, I'd go for "update the manpage, and keep the number" - Heiko is working on multi-listen, so we could end up with multiple local IPs and ports one day, and then it makes sense to have them numbered local_1, local_2, etc. gert -- USENET is *not* the non-clickable part of WWW! //www.muc.de/~gert/ Gert Doering - Munich, Germany g...@greenie.muc.de fax: +49-89-35655025 g...@net.informatik.tu-muenchen.de
