Someone shoot me down if I'm wrong - but isn't the MTU for ethernet a
fixed value?

We will in 3.5. It's on PM-3s now, other boxes in the next few weeks.

On PM-3s yes. Same as last answer.

You can't right now (don't think you can in 3.5 either, but I'm not sure.)

Hmm. I think what we do now is all routes except default or all routes AND
default. But not JUST default. I'll have to check on that.

I'll read the RFC as soon as I get time (probably over this long weekend)
it is a hefty one.
