Hi,


if I want do send from A to D over other nodes

A -> B -> C -> D


what is the correct and intended configuration for target D?


on A  via [B,C]


or


on A via [B]  and on B via [C] ?



Since via accepts an array,  setting via [B,C] on A should work, but 
isn't this a security problem, if configuration on A can tell B what to 
do ? Shouldn't via just set the next hop?

regards

Hadmut

  Hi Hadmut,
  
  You can actually do it both ways.
  
  For the quux smarthost, I use the second feature so that leaf nodes
  don't each have to know the full routes to each other.
  
  I wouldn't really see it as a security issue, since both A and B have to
  be configured to be able to route to C to use A via B,C.  A can't make B
  send to a node it doesn't know about.
