Hi Robert,

OK. You've convinced me.

I've added this issue to the development list.

> I really shouldn't be trying to modify the routing table because of the
> HA nature of the setup.  The IP I'm using for LDM moves between two
> servers. Trying to add it would complicate the configuration. My
> installation is working with the default behavior.  It just when I moved
> to a HA configuration I noticed the upstream IP was not using the LDM
> configured IP (HA IP).  I would say it's really common for system
> administrators to assign additional IP to a server for a service. That
> way you can move the service to other hardware in the future with out
> the headache of an IP change. This is very true with DNS servers. I
> think it would be true with LDM. If I assign an IP and DNS entry for
> LDM, tell the upstream providers about this. They configure their LDM
> down stream config file and firewalls with the IP.  I have the freedom
> of moving my LDM service around to different hardware or HA it with no
> impact. I also don't need to change DNS and wait for propagation to occur.

Steve Emmerson
