Whoops!  I'm still coming to grips with multihoming.  According to  
your thinking, my many years on the NANOG mailing list were wrong and  
you tell me I should leave.

I don't think I can allow you to do that, Andrew.

Paul Vixie, Dillon, Bush, and others have given many examples of  
appropriate and concise direction giving to newby questioners.  Follow  
their lead, please.
