inter-site routing

I might be missing something on this feature – or don’t have it setup correctly, but I have some discomfort deploying this feature b/c:

1) it doesn’t show a status (up/down) in netmonitor (our ops are tuned to the colors).

2) I can’t see any queue depth

3) I can’t stop and start the destination thread

4) If I stop the receiving thread process, then I can’t get the process back up b/c the public port is allocated to the destination thread.  I have to drop the destination thread process to start the receiving process.

I understand the need to reduce thread count, and I certainly appreciate the feature progress, but if this isn’t a user setup error, I inclined to continue the old practices.

My $.02 – please tell me if I’m just not doing something right….
