Well, the current code does allow a referral to point to 127.0.0.1. I don't know what to think of that; it seems unlikely to be useful for anything but testing, and possibly succeptible to abuse, but of course the protocol doesn't forbid it. I google around a bit, but still don't get the scope stuff. Are they really part of an "ipv6 address"? I thought an ipv6 address was just a 128-bit number? (Or do they just give another way of writing something that you could already write without the %?) --b. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
