running out of mbufs?

Greetings, 

It’s very cool to hear you guys are interested in separate routing.

Running multiple routing daemons isn’t too much of a problem though.  The 
memory size isn’t usually very high, and it is more likely to be secure if 
the daemons are separate.  If somebody was going to run a large instance of 
routing they should probably use a router, not a unix box.
