Subject: IPv6: proxy_ndp to a network range

Hello,

There currently doesn't seem to be any support for proxy_ndp of a whole 
network mask, as IPv4 proxy_arp seems to permit.

a) Am I actually correct in this, or am I just missing something important?

b) Is there a technical reason for this, or is it just a limitation of 
the current implementation?

Thanks,
