[FROG] Zebra with no kernel routes: any real users?

[Donald Sharp]

Andrey -

There is current work being done to do exactly what you are proposing
w/ zebra.  Any work along this line would of course be appreciated,
but we do have a generalized approach that we are attempting to make
here.  If you interested let me or Mark know and we'll fill you in on
the details.
