It has limitations, but, it's documented pretty well in the excellent Day One/Day Two Juniper books for IPv6 written by Chris Grundemann. However, as others have said, I strongly subscribe to the school of "don't do that, it leads to unnecessary pain and provides little benefit. Owen On Feb 12, 2012, at 8:50 PM, Aleksi Suhonen wrote:
