Hi Stephane,
I'm surprised to see that every looking glass I know is only reachable via an interface made for humans, not for programs. When you want to query the LG via a program (for instance to monitor your routes on a distant LG), you need to emulate an human being and parse HTML (or sometimes Cisco text) replies.
Public looking glass are for humans. I do not want my looking-glass being heavily loaded by cron tool. looking-glass use router CPU and i do not want to see a foolish guy to put a : * * * * * Crontab ... Route-server is a solution to have load CPU router. Vincent.
