The insistence of Yast to stop/restart routing everytime there is a change makes it a poor solution as a network router. I’ve deployed 11.0 as a replacement to an old Fedora box that was routing 76 networks and providing dns services. The routing damon allows you to manipulate the routing tables directly on the fly. Since OpenSuSE forces you to use Yast, making a change or an addition to a single network disrupts Everybody .

Sounds like a valid bug.
Fedora might be the right choice in this particular scenario.
I see no reason why you have to use YaST. After all you can get the same software that Fedora uses.
