Yes, that's another part of the conversation, encouraging the use of an IGP, which has been a source of trouble for them because of broken wireless bridges from a very commonly used vendor that randomly eat multicast packets, so it's not as straightforward as it should be. > evil is not a synonym for ugly patch placed over a problem that > could be handled better.

My first experience with PBR was as a summer intern in the mid-1990s who inherited management of a large ATM network that had a big VPN-esque thing built entirely that way and with no documentation. It certainly felt evil at the time. ;) -w -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.
