Erm, unfortunately, the WIDE project in Japan recently approached us (well, Mike, myself and DG at any rate) with essentially the exact same proposal and now we're seriously stuck trying to figure out what to do. Obviously there can't be TWO IPv6 implementations in -current, so which to choose? :-( - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
