I have been using gated in production on Linux hosts. When I do a
"gdc reconfig" then gated clears out the kernel routing table, then
refills it. Even on my small OSPF routing tables there is a noticeable,
but short, downtime. I have never seen it last long enough to drop
a connection. Unless of course I made a mistake which I never do. :-)
