there is a broad difference between "the kernel does it always" and "in some cases, some userland app does it". in the former case, the existance of the local route can be used e. g. for the local/remote decision, in the latter case that is utterly unreliable. -- Henning Brauer, h...@bsws.de, henn...@openbsd.org BS Web Services GmbH, http://bsws.de, Full-Service ISP Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS.
