From the source code, it seems that IPv4 non local bind sysctl

applies to IPv6. Since 2.6.30.
Hmmm, then I'm going to look into it again. I'm running 2.6.39 and
it
doesn't seem to work. Could be a problem on my side.
You are right. It only applies to v4-mapped addresses.
It would have been nice if it did work though... It's one of those
features I'm missing.
Binding ip's to the dummy interface works, but it always feels a bit
hacky and brings up a lot of administration if you have lots of vrrp
addresses.
Here is a patch for this (only slightly tested):
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=132369656811468&w=2
It is targeted at the net-next branch and will not apply cleanly on a
vanilla kernel: you just need to remove the check on inet->freebind
which is not yet present in vanilla kernels.
Thanks! I'll have a look if I can get it working.
