[Xorp-hackers] Porting XORP to Embedded Switch

I am thinking of using XORP to turn the switches for the backplane  
fabric of our blade server into a top of rack router.

The blade server uses a Fulcrum switch connected to our 10G backplane  
fabric.  There are two independent switches in the system for  
redundancy and additional capacity.  There are two ports on each  
switch going to each blade slot, and 4 ports on each switch going to  
the front panel.

Has anybody used XORP with a Fulcrum switch or another chip?  What is  
the level of effort for the port?  What sort of things will I need to  
expect?

Is there a searchable archive of this list somewhere?

Thanks for your help.

Ed
