Thanks for the reply.

I know it’s working on the lo interface, but unluckily I need it on
other interfaces (and aliasing lo is not an option).

Moreover:
- the IPv6 patch explicitly refers to the possibility to do this with
  eth0 interface (i.e. it's not a lo-only feature)
- should it be consistent with the IPv4 behaviour? (or maybe it's not
  supposed to work even with IPv4 addresses, and so this is a bug)


thank you,

Gilberto.--
