A compromise might be to always write enough of the IPv6 address that the displayed string is different from any IPv6 address written above it. This might means the printed addresses get longer as we go. Other idea is to truncate differently. Perhaps dropping characters from the middle or the left end? Maybe even the program is smart enough to detect and drop a common sub-string. In any case I'd argue that it is a bug to use the same exact string to represent different servers -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
