Is this something that somebody is planning to add? I ask because this is very useful for traffic control setups. I'm importing routes via BGP and setting the realm based on the AS path, so I can rate-limit outbound traffic based on the destination AS. -- Chris Adams Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
