That configuration has been working, unchanged, for a few months now. Until recently it used the fxp0 interface, as evidenced by the fact that it actually worked. :-) > Are you trying to ping6 a link-local address, without any mention of > interface, hmm...? Again, it worked. If it hadn't, I would have kept messing with it until it did. I host web and mail on that host's IPv6 address and was very keen in getting it up and running. > I think above solution is better. Perhaps. I'm content with anything that keeps my connectivity up between reboots. -- Kirk Strauser
