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.
