Hi,

Can anybody tell me if it's possbile to tell a given interface not to 
do DAD ?  Specifically, when using the tun device for PPP, PPP 
negotiates it's own endpoint (link-local) addresses with the peer.  
However, it doesn't look possible to stop the kernel from doing DAD 
unless we already have a link-local address assigned to the interface 
when we IFF_UP it....

Perhaps we could have a new IFF_ flag (say, IFF_NODAD) that could be 
ioctl()d into the interface's if_flags field and checked in 
in6_ifattach() ?

Thanks for any help....
