Is this behavior exists from the beginning of KAME integration or available in latest freebsd code? Because I was using a box which derives its ipv6 code from KAME project and the behavior was different from this. Also, in a host which uses Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 4), I've seen the ipv6 addresses get removed when I do an interface down. Please let me know, if you have any thoughts on the same.
