I am not sure what kind of answer you would expect. BIRD (AFAIK) supports announcing IPv6 over IPv4 connection, but it is not a suggested configuration. Because if bird6 is listening also on IPv4 socket, you cannot start bird4 on the same address/iface. And also it can forward IPv6 routes even if IPv6 is not really working on the router. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'SanTiago' Zajicek (email: [email protected]) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
