I think it's probably not necessary for the purpose he mentioned; matching the MAC address is just as good (if not better). Of course, it would be even easier to use a tap device instead of uml_switch, and use iptables to do the matching, which will be much more flexible. -- - mdz ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: The SF.net Donation Program.
