   Hello Tommi,   
      
   On Saturday October 03 2015 20:14, you wrote to me:

   You will see lots of IPv6 addresses that won't backresolve in future...

    TK> Maybe Binkd needs []'s around the IPv6 address. Let's see.   
      
   Yes. Binkd accepts literal IPv6 addresses, but they must be encased in square   
   brackets.   
      
    MV>> O wait. When I tried it on my main system, I saw that the reply   
    MV>> did not come from *::f1d0:2:221:6 but from a PE address. So there

   Oh?  No way to tell it to use the manually set address?   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
