Hi mc36 !

Thanks for your feedback.

>  what if i have some more hackish ways to do the verification?

Love your suggestion to use tclsh [-2-] and other hackish ways [-1-] for 
verification  … 
This reminds me that there was tclsh on IOS :)

I’ll add this to verification list !

For those who are not familiar with the concept [-3-] VDC in freeRTr stands 
for Virtual Device Context.
It is basically a virtual freeRtr under control from a master freeRtr. IIRC 
it is similar to Junos logical router but with the clean separation that VDC 
config is distinct and autonomous. While in JUNOS logical router config is 
part of the global/master config. 

Good suggestion, let’s add a layer 00x-run-monitoring-vdc

Cheers
Frederic
