Ipv6 and preferred_lft

Hi,

in response to the message by Martinsson Patrik
(http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.keepalived.devel/4252). I too have
suffered from the fact that VRRP-addresses are not added with a
preferred_lft of 0. This resulted in checks being done with a one of the
vip-addresses as source address.

I thought that I could put 'iproute2'-commands in the config, but that
wasn't the case.

"2a03:7900:1:3:31:3:104:121 dev eth0 preferred_lft 0" in the
virtual_ipaddress-stanza results in the IP not being added and a error
in syslog:
 VRRP is trying to assign invalid VIP preferred_lft. skipping VIP...

So that doesn't work.

IMHO, a VIP-address should be added with preferred_lft 0 by default,
unless a netmask other than /128 is specified.

Regards,
