More DLSW: dest-mac vs dmac-output-list

Hi again,

Tim and Scott's discussion on DLSW made me realise it was time to have
another look at DLSW. While looking through the documentation, I was a
little bit confused by two of the options in the dlsw remote-peer
command: dest-mac and dmac-output-list.

My questions are:

1. I can understand the advantage of the dmac-output-list with
multiple hosts but if you are only interested in traffic for one host,
do the above commands achieve the same thing?

2. I seem to remember that the MAC you specify here shouldn't be the
actual MAC address but should be bitswapped, sort of a throw-back to
the token-ring days. Is this correct, and is it the case for both
commands?

Thanks
Roy
