I'd like to have one routing daemon running on my gateway. It is very
logical, especially if we speak about multicast routing protocols that
exchange unicast routing info (DVMRP, for example). And although there
is a lot left to work on, I guess that work should be kept in progress :)

I am ready to work on it :) That is why I posted my first message in
gated-people looking for a group who has been doing such work.
