It would be very dependent on the IPv6 or other support of the php SNMP module. Also some of the internal functions would need changing but I don't know how "rich" PHP is in AF-independent functions. > Basically, there is a need for a separate Transport Field associated with > each IP address (the nasty alternative is to parse it out all other places > than net-snmp, but that is stupid. Maybe fine for a demo). I would actually have a separate IPv6 hosts table to the (IPv4) hosts table. Far too many things depend on it being an IPv6 or IPv4 host. For example ping versus ping6. > Is this very hard, or just work? There would be a significant chance of broken randomness. A lot of discovery tools are using separate programs which may like IPv6 depending on how they are compiled. Fix #1 would be a good way to know PHP can handle IPv6. - Craig -- Craig Small GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.enc.com.au/ MIEE Debian developer csmall at : enc.com.au ieee.org debian.org ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Yahoo.
