Nameserver is ok, as common value. My question was: has network.fun to
handle also connection between interface, i.e. routing beetwing subnetwork, etc?

In network.fun? or Is it better in plip.fun, eth.fun, etc ?

The array problem.

With the set of values relative to any interface, I can ask the user
if defaultroute and gateway is belong this interface. A this point,
rounting is stoppend with normal start/stop Setup functions.
Summarizing (please help me):
interface.fun: addr? network? defaultroute? (peer?)
network.fun: nameserver?,hostname?,dhcp? (/etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf, etc)
Mmm .. I think /etc/net.conf should be eliminated: it make confusion.
