"specified the entire 128 bits"... how do you specify only part of

On Solaris, you would use the "token" option (see the extract from
"man ifconfig" output below).  You can simply put "token ::1234:5678"
into /etc/hostname6.bge0.  I assume that other sane OSes have similar
mechanisms.
Ah thanks. No, not seen anywhere in Linux or *BSD.
I would expect it to be an configuration option for rtsold(8) in KAME-
derived stacks and not in ifconfig(8). Errr... Not that I see it in there
either.

Trying to check a more recent KAME code base brings me to a real question
I've had. Does http://www.kame.net/ have an IPv4 mirror somewhere?
