Hello Pavel,

We are an amateur network. What is exotic for the professional may be common
for the amateur. Two network interfaces is what I have here. One is the LAN
card in my PC, that gets its IPv6 address from the router wehere my he.net
tunnel ends. The other is the virtual interface AICCU that terminates my SixXs
tunnel.

Good! Then please do so.


But then... When you have added the code anyway, it would not be more than a
few lines to also activate it as an option in all log levels as I proposed
wouldn't it?


Cheers, Michiel
