Re: v7.1rc3 adds Docker (TM) compatible container support

That is disappointing. :(

Re: Problem with V6 and X86 in VMWARE

Thanks for the info!
If your use case requires a large amount of RAM, the x86 won't be able to handle it. Max RAM for the x86 ROS is only 2 GB. The CHR is 64-bit, and can address as much RAM as you could possibly need.

Re: default gateway failover

You should also add a static route to the host that you're checking...ie
/ip route
add dst-address=3.3.3.3 gateway=1.1.1.1 comment="Always use this default gateway for netwatch IP"
I had to do this to prevent netwatch from thrashing about when the primary connection was down.
