correct. For dad we'd have the "refresh" command.
I suspect the kernel needs some work before we fully endorse the
disable-address. For instance, today IPv6 assumes that the link-local
lives on :0, but what happens when :0 is disabled? (I guess some kernel
code just blasts along using that disabled address.)
today the kernel just disables all the ipv6 addresses - in.ndpd
notices that the link-local disappeard and takes down the all
the autoconfigured addrs... we should
retain that behavior
Good. But that only handles the case of autoconfigured IPv6 addresses.
If I statically assign a link local to bge0 and a global to bge0:1, and
then ifconfig bge0 inet6 down, how does the system good.
