It is good, but it must be controlled. Also people put some efforts to improve it... Before i did custom patch to "trash" the cache, but after cache improved i should rewrite it. If required, i can make cache behavior changeable (on,off,flush ?). Will it help for you too? I think ifindex is good anyway, because sometimes it is better to refer to specific ppp interface by ifindex. --- System administrator Denys Fedoryshchenko Virtual ISP S.A.L.
