best place to specify ipv6 default route
The man page for mygate says that one can add an IPv6 gateway address to /etc/mygate, but it doesn't seem to add an entry to the routing table upon reboot. I'm not using rtsol anywhere. Most of my searching on the internet shows people adding a line to the /etc/hostname.gif0 file, i.e: !route -n add -host -inet6 default 2001:470:1f00:::244 Adding the line to the hostname.if file does work, but putting the gateway IPv6 address in /etc/mygate doesn't. What is the suggested way to do this? This is on 3.9-RELEASE. Thanks in advance. -- Will

There's a comment in /etc/netstart that says the gateway *must* exist in /etc/hosts. I just checked my machine using ip4 in mygate, and I do NOT have a hosts entry, and it's been working. Hmm. The script in netstart is simple and clean. You might try running bits of it and see what's not working. Looks to me like it should work fine, though I can't see the reason for an entry in /etc/hosts so I might be missing something. -- Darrin Chandler| Phoenix BSD Users Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://bsd.phoenix.az.us/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ |

That's not what's in my 3.9-stable.
