what I understand is when a permanent address machine move to some other location its prefix will change accordingly. But that will be it's care of address (CoA). whenever any request come for it with it's permanent address that will me directed to its CoA.

Thanks for the insight Brian, but what happens if routers advertise different prefixes on different i/fs and a permenant add machine (eg web server) needs to be relocated? Do the DNS entries need to be changed when this happens? gopi. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The IPv6 Users Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe users" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- The IPv6 Users Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe users" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
