may or may not
from my point of view it should be realy intergrated because you may
configure the rounting on the
virual ip addresses and so the routing process need knowledge if we have
the ip address yet.

maybe somewehre in the future ;-)

I think bugzilla is in someway inefficent for this because you need to
go throuh the whole to find the features planed
you does not become an idea in which release we plan to have this you
have to sort out bugs and not aproved feature requests

yes, you are right the basics must be running, but my primary question
was have anybody seen somthing in this direction  yet.
