Hi Philipp,
thanks for pointing this out. I did a quick check of
is_addr6_available() in the linux-ha 2.0 tree and it seems that this
local check has been removed all together - though I am not sure why. I
wonder if this would also be a good apprach to take to side-step the
problem that you have found in 1.2.5.
The (untested) patch belows shows what I am thinking about.
Is it possible for you to see if this solves the problem that you are
seeing?
I have CCed the linux-ha-dev list, so the linux-ha developers can
pass their eyes over this. Its a subscriber only list.
For the linux-ha people, this (Debian) bug can be seen at
http://bugs.debian.org/417835, and posting to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] will log against it.
