Simon, I tried "tcp6(ip(fe80::220:abff:febe:4dac%eth0) port(1468));" in my earlier testing and received the syslog error:
"Error binding socket" addr='AF_INET6(fe80::220:abff:febe:4dac)', error='Invalid argument (22)'
It does not work yet, Simon has only suggested a configuration interface. Can you enlighten me what is a link-local address? Am I right to assume that it is an address that can only be used on the local LAN? Can you explain why it is useful? (to restrict packets to the local LAN?) syslog-ng supports an option named ip_ttl() and it lets you set the maximum hop count on the packet. Isn't this a substitute? Can you point me to a package that supports link-local addresses? -- Bazsi
