Linux treats IPv4 and IPv6 separately (as well it should). Its no problem to
have two gateways (one IPv4 ... one IPv6).
I think I'll go the route of modifying ifup and adding
/lib/services/ipv6-static* entries I guess... *groan* Although, I could just
ditch the current network start script and roll my own. Then I could use
/etc/sysconfig/ifconfig.eth0 in anyway that I wanted...
I also could just use the old method from 6.4 ... just copy the start script
from there and so on... I'll noodle on it awhile. Thanks for your help.
PS: might want to consider having IPv6 addressing support built in for future
versions as it is the future...
