Oh, I wasn't away of the limit to one secondary.
Seems like a strange limit ;)
Now, in my mind, the Linux people screwed up, I
can't see any reason till why the adresses should
actually be removed but hey, I'm no kernel hacker.
It won't be default but from someone who's using
xorp I think you can expect them to turn on a few
kernel options or do propose that xorp should
handle the problem?
