Description Lapo Luchini 2010-02-08 14:50:01 UTC
(I'm a bit undecided if this is a doc-bug or a change-request, but I
think the former is certain, the latter could be useful.)

Let me explain: when a server changes IPv4 it can (in some cases) have
both as aliases for a while, so that the change does not imply downtimes.

Using 6to4 this does not appear to be the case: interface stf1 can't be
created (and this is the documentation bug: "man stf" states that "Each
stf interface is created at runtime using interface cloning") and adding
an alias address to the existing stf0 interface does no effect at all:
only the first address is used (and this is the change request: either
support both address or maybe forbid adding a second alias, if that's
possible).

In reference (and a bit more verboseness), two messages by myself in the
freebsd-net mailing list:
