Subject: Scaling Max IP address limitation 

Hi,
I am trying to add multiple IP addresses ( v6 ) to my FC7 box on eth0. 
But I am hitting a max limit of 4000 IP address . Seems like there is a 
limiting variable in linux kernel (which one? ) that prevents from 
adding more IP addresses than 4096. What do I need to change in Linux 
kernel  ( and then recompile ) to be able to add more IP addresses than 
4K addresses per system? ..
Thanks,
-d
