RE: Routing at the Edges of the Internet

From: Doug Barton [dougb(_at_)dougbarton(_dot_)us]

All of these systems are on the same network, same
switch fabric, and have the same gateway address. In an ideal world I
would like them to be able to know that they can speak directly to one
another without having to go through the gateway (and without my having
to manually inject static routes on the hosts, which of course is both
painful and un-scale'y.

I'm no expert in this, but isn't this what ICMP Redirect messages are
for?  Aren't routers required to generate them in these cases?
