I could make the case that for Civil Defense purposes ALL routers should fall back to mesh network mode IMMEDIATELY upon failure of their primary WAN connection. It should be baked into the routers firmware, testable by simply unplugging the network feed. It should be required by law. Yes, I dream. Failing that, you might find a package to do this (somehow) but it is a function that belongs in the router. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Something will probably have to be done about this "threat" in the future, Im particulary concerned about the fact that the US department of commerce controls DNS root zone and the situation will become worst when DNSSEC is implemented, all keys have to be signed by them. It is ok if US people wants their goverment to have such control, but I certainly dont trust them a single bit, giving them the control of such critical stuff is pure insanity for us that live in the rest of world. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
