Whoops! I'm still coming to grips with multihoming. According to
your thinking, my many years on the NANOG mailing list were wrong and
you tell me I should leave.
I don't think I can allow you to do that, Andrew.
Paul Vixie, Dillon, Bush, and others have given many examples of
appropriate and concise direction giving to newby questioners. Follow
their lead, please.
