I'm looking at what's needed to make IPv6 autoconfiguration work on a host=
=20
with multiple interfaces. And I'm quite confused. In looking at rtsold, I=
=20
found the following comment in the man page:

     The IPv6 autoconfiguration specification assumes a single-interface ho=
st.
     You may see kernel error messages if you try to autoconfigure a host w=
ith
     multiple interfaces.  Also, it seems contradictory for rtsold to accept
     multiple interface arguments.

So what should we do?

What do other OSs do?

Take care,

Bill
