RE: [cpx] CPX Priorities

["Scott Flinders" <sflinders@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm sorry, but I don't recognize that bug by that name. Perhaps I know
it by another. Could you provide a brief description and I'll let you
know the status on it?

Thanks,

Scott

We have several customers that want to know if the "Forwarding" bug is
