It sounds like what you are trying to do is more specific to Click than 
it is to XORP. In the XORP model, the FEA process must run on the node 
which is forwarding.

It may well be possible to run Click on a separate node from the FEA 
process itself, but I can't offer any support on how to do this, nor 
offer any advice. Perhaps someone on the Click mailing list can better 
help you with your question?

thanks,
BMS
