well, if advertising routes to your network's PA prefixes over your own private links is going to cause trouble, we need to fix that problem, rather than expect those private links to use PI addresses. because expecting every host to use the "right" prefix based on what links the traffic will use simply won't work. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPng Working Group Mailing List IPng Home Page: http://playground.sun.com/ipng FTP archive: ftp://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng Direct all administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------
