I think you'll end up in a configuration where every client must have<br>its own prefix making the feature request unnecessary; the advertised<br>prefix could be dynamic (relatively easy if the ppp interfaced are<br>created in sequential order) or static (probably more difficult unless<br>
pppd allows creating differently named interfaces for each of your<br>users and/or have scripting that rewrites the radvd configuration<br>based on AAA database information about prefixes).<br></blockquote></div><br>at the moment I only have a /64, so I can't carve up my allocated space even if I wanted to :-(<br clear="all">
<br>I could just create a script to list all the interfaces that could ever be used, and it'll pick up the ones that are active.<br><br>-- <br>- Norman Rasmussen<br> - Email: <a href="mailto:norman@rasmussen.co.za">norman@rasmussen.co.za</a><br>
