Thank you Andrey, you made my day! I'm beginning to love IPv6 more and more. How would the prefer_source flag look like in rc.conf? Is the following approach correct: ifconfig_fxp0_ipv6="inet6 accept_rtadv" ifconfig_fxp0_alias0="inet6 2001:19f0:8001:1219::10 prefer_source" -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN 2:5005/49@fidonet http://vas.tomsk.ru/ _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
