You could look into using VRRP between your routers instead, if > they support it. Will look into VRRP, but 4.1 from http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc579 makes me suspicious:
In the IPv6 case (that is, IPvX is IPv6 everywhere in the figure), each router has a link-local IPv6 address on the LAN interface (Rtr1 is assigned IPv6 Link-Local A and Rtr2 is assigned IPv6 Link- Local B), and each host learns a default route from Router Advertisements through one of the routers (in this example, they all use Rtr1's IPv6 Link-Local A). won't NetworkManager pick up those routes as well, and [still] mess up routing? > If not, I think you are SOL for now. (As am I.) Would [nm-policy.c: update_ip6_routing] be a good starting-point for looking into this? /Anders -- Anders Blomdell Email: [email protected] Department of Automatic Control Lund University Phone: +46 46 222 4625 P.O.
