To be able to omit it, specify something > like ipv6_default_interface="em0" in your /etc/rc.conf. Please enlighten me a bit. RFC 4007 "11.6. Omitting Zone Indices" states: "The format defined in this document does not intend to invalidate the original format for non-global addresses; that is, the format without the zone index portion. As described in Section 6, in some common cases with the notion of the default zone index, there can be no ambiguity about scope zones. In such an environment, the implementation can omit the "%<zone_id>" part." Does absolutely trusted IPv6 local net using link-local addresses only falls in that case? If yes, is there a way to make address scope optional for all link-local addresses in FreeBSD? Are link-local addresses ever usable for DNS or not due to their %<zone_id> part? F.e. for the case there is no global IPv6 net assigned at all but pure isolated IPv6 local network. > In anyway, I don't recommend to use a link-local address for DNS. Is it only due to their scope part or other reasons exists too? -- http://ache.vniz.net/
