Subject: Need to prime a Kinetics FastPath II with information.

I want to use an atalkad that is sitting on another net across campus
as the source of routing information... I know how to do this, but the
problem is that if I do this and my connection to that host is broken
at a time the FastPath reboots, our local zone will be down until
the connection to the remote host is resumed.

What I would like to do is tell the FastPath in advance enough information
so that when it boots it can function for our local zone until
the atalkad system is again available.

Is this possible?  I notice in the KIP documents that the config
file stops at a 1234 flag if it is present.  Could it be that the info
living past that is what I am looking to prime?

Another possible solution would be if I could get the KIP box to listen
to both my local host and the remote one... is this possible?

Thanks for reading the message!

Brian
