Thank you Ondrej, for these pointers. Without having done any additional testing (yet), (3) seems to be pretty close to what I'd want (having to specify all neighbors is both a pro and a con I guess). So I'll be sure to do some experimenting with that tomorrow.
Some detailed documentation regarding the various modes would surely be appreciated indeed ;-)
So far the testing with (3) has shown it to be a rather nice solution problem. It even seems to handle the additional use case where there's floating (high-available) IP addresses involved (as aliases) properly. Just one small question though: Is there some trick to "AdminDown" a session between 2 given peers in a pmtp setup, other than invoking packetfilters and have the sessions time out? Removing the "neighbor" from either end and doing a "configure" keeps the session alive it seems. Regards, Ruben Laban
