>Description:
It is perfectly legal to use rtsol on one interface and
rtadvd on a different interface. The current startup
scripts assume that this is illegal which was not the
intent of the IPv6 RFC's. See the audio transcripts
of IETF71 ipv6ops meeting, second day, for conformation.
A model where one or more (upstream) interface gets their
address via router solitations and then performs prefix
discover over those interface to configure (downstream)
interfaces which advertise those prefixes via rtadvd is
expected to be supported.
>How-To-Repeat:
By inspection.
