I thought that's what I said in my first email ;) Sorry for any
confusion.

You have /56 and this is what I believe to be the incorrect way to get
this to Just Work. I think this assume that anyone else in this /56 is
in the same layer two segment as you....=20

I read this, I made sure to read this and then I read it a second time.
No where does it indicate the use of a /56. I am in the process of a
migration from an old OVH server to a new OVH server. My old box uses
the /56 prefix length "fix" but based on the documentation this is
incorrect and IMO this assumes that anyone else in the /56 is in the=20
same segment as me and if they are using /64 - well, There Be Dragons.

Also from the information I have received, router advertisements may be
turned off in the future, my host should simply Neighbour Solicit for
the global scope unicast address of my default gateway. And as pointed
out in previous emails without ACCEPT_RTADV for re0 - FreeBSD does not
perform this action.

So again, what is the correct way ? I think this is a debate of IPv6
Protocol vs. IPv6 Policy vs. Network architecture.

I'll go and get Tina Turner. You get Masterblaster and we'll meet in
Thunderdome.
