[Xorp-users] Question regrading IPv6 stack as a Host

I have question regarding role of a XORP as an IPv6 host. I want to 
check the functionality of XORP as an IPv6 host.
I have a Linux machine with the following specification:

OS: Fedora Core 5
kernel version: 2.6.26.5
XORP version: 1.4

Doubt: If I run the XORP(IPv6 is enabled in the configuration file) on 
this Linux machine and then if I am checking the functionality of the
            XORP as an IPv6 host then whether all the responses() will 
come through the XORP or it will come from kernel itself?

            If it is coming from the kernel itself then the 
functionality of the XORP is not verified.

Questions:
1) is it possible to run the XORP as an IPv6 host?
2) if it is possible to run XORP as an IPv6 host what should be the 
configuration(i.e. kernel configuration, XORP configuration etc...)
3) Is it true that XORP uses the kernel stack? if it is so then if  my 
kernel module of IPv6 is disabled XORP can not run in the IPv6 mode?

Thanks.
