Maybe, maybe not. Though I can't find it right now, I thought the route
code called the radix code though function pointers. Looking at the code,
I must be remembering things.

i.e. if an address family could use a different routing setup than IP's
radix code, we'd be set. :-)

I'm unsure how to do that now.

Take care,
