Well yeah, but what is the application? You can't expect this to route to
well, but I'd really have to see the situation a bit better. If you have
30 individual connections, they are all going to have ptp interfaces
assocated with them along with corresponding routes for their interfaces,
etc. What exactly are you trying to do, or is this just for testing
(sounds a bit like something I'd do)?
