Hi! When zeroconf/ipv4ll support is added to ifupdown It would be advisable to also add special ipv4ll routes to every interface regardless whether ipv4ll is actually configured or not:
route add -net 169.254.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 dev $IFACE metric 99 route add default dev $IFACE metric 99 These special routes allow communication between ipv4ll and non-ipv4ll hosts without difficulties. These routes should be added to *all* interfaces and in all cases! This can easily be implemented by just sticking a shell fragment into /etc/network/if-up.d/ipv4ll-routes with the two lines mentioned above. For a discussion of these routes, please read: http://avahi.org/wiki/AvahiAutoipd#Routes http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2004/qa1357.html http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/avahi/2006-September/000878.html Thank you very much, Lennart -- Lennart Poettering; lennart [at] poettering [dot] net ICQ# 11060553; GPG 0x1A015CC4; http://0pointer.net/lennart/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
