I assume someone will update: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-ipv6.html My question now concerns aliases, and what the norm will end up being. Here is example below: Here we have the new layout with IPV6, the below works fine, however since the ifconfig lines for IPV4 and IPV6 are essentially the same other than the actual "inet" and "inet6", will it be ok to start with alias0 for both IPV4 and IPV6, or should I in this example be starting at alias4 for IPV6? I would like idea to keep it way it is each protocal starting at alias0. #GATEWAY defaultrouter="67.159.46.233" hostname="sunsaturn.com" #IPV4 ifconfig_em1="inet 67.159.46.238 netmask 255.255.255.248" ifconfig_em1_alias0="inet 67.159.46.234 netmask 255.255.255.248" ifconfig_em1_alias1="inet 67.159.46.235 netmask 255.255.255.248" ifconfig_em1_alias2="inet 67.159.46.236 netmask 255.255.255.248" ifconfig_em1_alias3="inet 67.159.46.237 netmask 255.255.255.248" #IPV6 ipv6_activate_all_interfaces="YES" ipv6_network_interfaces="em1" ipv6_defaultrouter="2001:49f0:4004:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001" ifconfig_em1_ipv6="inet6 2001:49f0:4004:0000:0000:0000:0000:0002 prefixlen 48" ifconfig_em1_alias0="inet6 2001:49f0:4004:0000:0000:0000:0000:0003 prefixlen 48" ifconfig_em1_alias1="inet6 2001:49f0:4004:0000:0000:0000:0000:0004 prefixlen 48" Dan. -- Dan The Man CTO/ Senior System Administrator Websites, Domains and Everything else http://www.SunSaturn.com Email: Dan@SunSaturn.com
