[Xorp-users] Multiple XORP routers question

[f.rodriguez at lancaster.ac.uk]

Thanks for the answer Ben. If this is the case, then let me restate my
question:
Does XORP-1.5 comes with table id support in order to run multiple XORP
instances in the same PC?

I know, from previous e-mails in xorp's mail lists, that there was a CVS
version of XORP-1.4. that do support routing table ID in order to run
multiple XORP instances in the same PC. I'm looking to run multiple XORP
instances in a Debian Linux box, not really looking forward for Windows
support.

Cheers,
Francisco
