Linux have a limited support for proxying Neighbor Solicitation
|
||||
messages to other interfaces, by turning on 'proxy_ndp'. But in
|

order for this to work, each individual IP you want to proxy needs
|

to be added to the neighbor proxy table using:
|

messages by simply answering to any messages where the target IP

can be found in the host's neighbor proxy table. To make this work
|

you need to enable "proxy_ndp", and then add each single host to the

neighbor proxy table by typing something like:

ip -6 neigh add proxy <ip> dev <if>

If '-d' is specified, the daemon will 'daemonize' itself, and enable

Create a pidfile at the specified location.
