Yes, once the prefix properly appears in the routing registry, these packets will be allowed to pass. > I would appreciate private replies on the efficacy of this ACL modification. If you're a Verio customer and seeing similar problems with some of the prefixes you own, check that they are properly registered. If you're a bgp customer, you can get copies of your acls automatically e-mailed to you whenever they change (including the change and the full acl). You will want to make sure that the route is registered if you intend to source packets from it (you do not necessarily need to announce it). - Jared -- Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from [email protected] clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine.
