Combine that with GateD for BGP and you've got a hot box (and full sources for a bit more money). I know the question was about FreeBSD, and that BSD/OS is not "free", so this information is probably not going to be directly useful to the questioner. I include it here in case a lurker is intrigued by the idea and disappointed that FreeBSD does not yet offer this kind of driver. <info@bsdi.com> could surely tell you more, if you are interested. Disclaimer: I'm a consultant to BSDi and I also sell BSD/OS-based routers. -- Paul Vixie La Honda, CA <paul@vix.com> decwrl!vixie!paul
