Scoped routing is a pest! I know plenty of cases where it causes serious problems, yet, I don't know a single real world case for Mac users where this would be useful. Scoped routing was introduced in iOS, because there it might make sense, considering the case that an iOS device may switch primary interface between WiFi and 3G at any time and without scoped routing, this may sometimes break currently active connections. However, porting that feature to the Mac was a bad idea, since it causes plenty of known issues.

oops- scratch that

I had misread my own thread. Yes, I agree scoped routing is a pest. I had misremembered that I was a user and not a non-user.

re: Scoped Routing

It is a pest, but if you go to the discussions link above, there's a real world use case: a Mac Server which is acting as a router. It mostly worked, apart from this painful bug.. I've moved on to a hardware router, though.
