I'm afraid just asking this question without providing a context could be misleading. I guess this is a continuation of a thread of the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list: ftp://ftp.kame.net/pub/mail-list/snap-users/9541 ftp://ftp.kame.net/pub/mail-list/snap-users/9544 If so, we should discuss this with the understanding of why KAME-snap version behaves that way, specifically referring to Section 3 (especially 3.4.1) of this document: http://v6fix.net/docs/wide-draft-v6fix.en We (KAME) thought the behavior was reasonable but we were also afraid this might be too experimental to incorporate to *BSD release versions at that time. That's why it's not in the FreeBSD repository. I'm interested in what others think on this. If others think this feature is reasonable, too, and want it, I'm happy to commit the change to the FreeBSD repository. JINMEI, Tatuya Communication Platform Lab. Corporate R&D Center, Toshiba Corp.
