Seems like we have talked around each other. If you want to communicate with an LLA host, fine, obtain an LLA address otherwise take a hike. My LLA implementation already does this..it never removes an address from a interface it didn't set itself, and it always sets address as aliases. There is also an option to force it to assign (as an alias) a LLA address even if the interface is already is configured with another address. Fredrik Lindberg
