There is a training slide show about this in the training section of the ISCS network security management project web site (http://iscs.sourceforge.net) or you can look in the ip-cref.ps file that shipped with your distribution. On my FC4, it is /usr/share/doc/iproute-2.6.11/ip-cref.ps. Hope this helps - John -- John A.
