Yes, there was a discussion about it, but perhaps it is in the bug report that is open on that subject (I think it is 1029). > > In my opinion this behavior is broken and prevents proper migration. > However, I assume there must be some reason why this behavior was > chosen, so I am interested in hearing it's rationale. Yes, I think it is an undesirable behavior. I suspect that the person who implemented it either wanted it that way or didn't realize it is not ideal. Unfortunately, I don't have IPv6 running here or the time to work on it, so it is an item that has been pending for a long time. > > I intend to patch this behavior and deploy the patched versions to my > hosts.

Yes, I definitely would like to resolve this problem (and close the bug report). If you have a test environment as well as the time and energy, we would really appreciate a patch -- IPv6 is going to become important in the next couple of years.
