Alright, but there needs to be something in the show-prop output that allows one to see if a property applies to IPv4 or IPv6. In your current proposal, I don't think that one can tell. If you get rid of "-f" and instead represent IPv4 and IPv6 as different protocols (with "-m"), then this issue goes away. -Seb
