IPv6: can a link-site (or global) address be configured in rc.conf?

[Yoshinobu Inoue]

Hi,

Very unfortunately, 6to4 is not yet supported in FreeBSD/KAME.

So now available options will be,

 -Use freenet6 (for one hosts).
 -Get IPv6 address block and connect to 6bone using gif tunnel.


Cheers,
Yoshinobu Inoue
