So, to paraphrase this: you will handle IFCONFIG and IFCONFIG6 in
either order or "just one of them" fine?
I was sort of assuming the code waits for an incoming IFCONFIG and then
fires up the VPN API with "IFCONFIG and optional IFCONFIG6" - in which
case, sending IFCONFIG first would have caused "fun effects with IFCONFIG6",
and "not sending IFCONFIG at all" would cause interesting effects :-)
... but now I do seem to remember that you collect *all* information
first (IFCONFIG* and ROUTE*), so it doesn't really matter in which order
the "core" sends it...
