Assume the following... |
19 |
machine1 has a script in /etc/local.d/ that executes... |
20 |
ipv6 address fe80::1 link-local |
21 |
|
22 |
machine2 has a script in /etc/local.d/ that executes... |
23 |
ipv6 address fe80::2 link-local |
24 |
|
25 |
machine3 has a script in /etc/local.d/ that executes... |
26 |
ipv6 address fe80::3 link-local |
27 |
|
28 |

...in /etc/hosts and will it properly match them to the correponding |
