Hello Lyle,

An Interface Group on a DPN would also have have attributes for Peer 
Interface Groups residing on other DPNs.  So, the data plane 
configuration can already exhibit the ("cross-DPN") interconnection 
between Interface Groups even if the interfaces of the Group all reside 
on the same DPN.

Could you give an example of an Interface Group that perforce requires 
to reside on multiple DPNs?  Is it a case that could be handled better 
by defining a virtual DPN to host the Interface Group?  I understand the 
word "containment" but I'm not at all clear about what sort of Group 
requires the extra complication to expedite the stated purpose, which is 
DPN selection.  If there are other purposes, I would be inclined to 
define other structures for them that do not have the effect of 
complicating the Interface Group definition.

Regards,
Charlie P.

          Can we have it so that all the Interfaces of an "Interface
