"unreasonable" is a peculiar word to use here :-)
It's the internet and you can't expect other people not to do silly things from time to time. This is a known problem and it isn't even the first time it's been discussed on nanog-l.
If you've been hit with a known service-affecting problem that can easily recur without warning and which will be service affecting if it hits again, common sense suggests that it would be a good idea to upgrade to a version of code which isn't affected.
Well, that's a brilliant platitude, but what do you do when it breaks over and over until the other guy upgrades? -Bill -- William Herrin ................ herrin@dirtside.com bill@herrin.us Dirtside Systems ......... Web: <http://www.dirtside.com/>
