Description

I would like to bring up an issue I had to resolve locally. Most websites were working, some not while we did know that the sites were up and running (accessable from other machines). After a while of investigations, I reduced the MTU size of my LAN machine(s) from 1500 to 1400 and than it perfectly works. A very good description of that issue is on www.netheaven.com/pmtu.html.

So, my request is to enhance the network start scripts to (optionally) set the MTU size. I think, 'ifup' or the service-scripts are the place where this could be done.
