I saw Stealth the other day.  Interesting movie ... see-through plot and not much character development, but entertaining nontheless.  The techno talk and "stuff" displayed on the computer monitors was quite funny.  I liked all those random formulas and LAN party cases, too..  I think I even laughed out loud when they showed a triple helix breaking down as EDE (which I think they basically copied from HAL 9000) got struck by lightning.  But yeah, good movie.

In other news, I moved my NetScreen 5GT to directly on the public internet, and setup some policy routing on laplace that would make a baby cry.  Check it out.  And, I also updated my main network map.  So, now I'm running into a problem with ICMP redirects, of course.  I suppose I should turn them off, because ALL traffic wants to hit 10.3.5.2 (einstein) and only HTTP and SSH should go through.  The main router (laplace) should pass everything else out eth1.  Below is an example:

204.235.121.191 via 10.3.5.2 dev eth0  src 10.3.5.100 
    cache <redirected>  mtu 1500 advmss 1460 metric10 64

... should look like:

204.235.121.191 via 10.3.5.254 dev eth0  src 10.3.5.100 
    cache  mtu 1500 advmss 1460 metric10 64

... and doesn't because of:

20:04:17.555057 IP 10.3.5.254 > 10.3.5.100: icmp 556: redirect 204.235.121.191 to host 10.3.5.2

Anyway, enough of that.  I think I should eat dinner.
