Hi guys

WAIX routing won't be back for some time.

I talked to the guys at AARNET today. They spent a significant amount of
time on it yesterday, and have decided that attempting to treat the WAIX
only subnet differently is just too painful.

They have a bunch of routers in Perth now, not just one.. and several
links, and they don't want to put the config everywhere to make sure
that the WAIX route doesn't get advertised to the world.

What I can do is provide UCC with a list of networks that are WAIX. We
can then load that list into the router. The only problem is the
potential liability if someone is leaching and WAIX is down...

Anyway, committee members: I'm (one) of the the UCC's plants in UCS..
instruct me!
