Hellmuth Michaelis : Yet another approach to the laptop multi-home problem
"For several years now, I've been using FreeBSD on my laptop at work. Since I am often at different customer sites on any given day, I must adjust my laptop settings according to their network, which means a new IP address, new name server, new default gateway and so on. Editing rc.conf, resolv.conf and friends by hand was tedious. I needed something that was easy to set up, use, develop and maintain."

declaring as good, sanction, commendation; but
approbation is stronger and more positive. ``We may be
anxious for the approbation of our friends; but we
should be still more anxious for the approval of our
own consciences.'' ``He who is desirous to obtain
universal approbation will learn a good lesson from
the fable of the old man and his ass.'' ``The work has
been examined by several excellent judges, who have
expressed their unqualified approval of its plan and
execution.''
