Unmanaged interfaces don't get re-managed by themselves (or rediscovered,
as you put it). A person has to re-manage them. That's why you hide them
(and
their networks) from all submaps. A demandpoll will not do anything with
an
unmanaged interface. Yes, new ones will show up over time - lots of them,
maybe,
but it is a finite number. Once you have them all unmanaged and hidden, it
should
be easy to keep them that way. Putting them in a collection makes it easier
to re-
unmanage them should someone bring them out of hiding, or if you should
delete
and rediscover the router.
Anybody else having any success dealing with NAT?

But even, if you unmanage them, they will be rediscoverd on a demand
poll. I'm fighting against a managed dial-in router. Every day we have to
unmanage new RED interfaces and after a few days we start this procedure
from the beginning. We don't know how to keep this router managed with all
known interfaces unmanaged for a long time. We've tried to change the poll
interval with no success. Any ideas how to handle such a beast?
