Do you have the two modems required for such a configuration? Each link of the bond must get its ethernet interface. So, you need two ethernet cards at least and two ADSL modems in bridging mode. The configuration itself is pretty straightforward. Yes, I have more than the required number of

DJBDNS IPv6

Hi all, I am doing some serious testing with IPv6, however I can not get the name resolution side of things on my DJBDNS DNS servers to work as expected. On my legacy 4.10 box running BIND, I can resolve v6 addresses inherently even without v6 enabled in the kernel, but on my pre-production
