While rereading the proposed charter I have two questions ..

1. Is documentation or new tools specification development for home 
network troubleshooting either manual or automated in or outside of 
charter ? How about diagnostics in reachability to internal subnets or 
different hosts on the internet ?

2. How about multihoming with seamless switchover ?

I think those will make home networking a bit easier ?

---

Example for 1: What happens if I can ping/trace a destination, browse 
it's web site just fine, but my cgi script dies ? And I have a real case 
like this which honestly I am not sure how to troubleshoot. Server side 
reports no errors at all in the log. MTU is low as it can be.

/* Well I found the solution but will not say it on this list as I am 
afraid Jari and Mark will unsubscribe me ;-) */

Cheers,
R.
