I can completely understand.. I used to work for Black & Veach solutions
group, and I sometimes have the urge to strangulate people who work
there.  I am having a much better experience at AOS, I don't know of any
other 21 y/o kid who gets to work with the high end hardware and network
equipment that I do.  I get to monitor client networks for intrusions,
build IDS solutions, and they even popped A LOT of money for a compaq
made high availability linux cluster+shared storage array that I got to
build from the ground up (linux-ha/heartbeat project).  Pretty cool,
even if they screw me on the pay (and trust me, they do).

By the way, we prefer 'egress filters', as well as 'Unicast reverse path
verification' when used in conjunction with 'Forwarding Information
Base' and 'Cisco Express Forwarding', but we tend to be very open on
terminology.

I am always up for a good flame war, I think computer people are
egotistical by nature, even more so with linux and networking people.
One of these days I will get off my ass and go to one of your meetings
so I can meet you fellas.

(On Jeremy's behalf to Kevin) Well - I was really biting my tongue the
whole time...  but since you opened this can of worms for me, and
considering I was once employed by those fine Alexander folks...  aw,
nevermind - you said it for me. 	unfortunate company

Indeed - for those CCNA types, the phrase "egress routing" aught to jog 
the memory a bit.

We having fun yet?  (C'mon Jeremy, trim those damned posts!)
