Yea, I'm sure...

We use Linux for routers as well as servers and workstations. Since I
sent this I've discovered that by default, when a Linux system has IPv6
forwarding turned on, it adds the <network>::/64 anycast router
addresses on all the interfaces (as per rfc 2526).

What I'm actually looking to do is (change / add) other addresses the to
anycast6 list to work in an existing configuration that does not use the
rfc 2526 anycast router address.

Is there a command line method of setting up these anycast addresses?

Thanks,
