First list is SPARC/Solaris second is x64/Linux.  Running in.ripng
implements IPv6 auto-configuration for the LAN segment hence doling out the
additional address.

That's the only way to configure IPv6 in Solaris.

Conversely if you don't add on static IPv6 addressing then you would only
have one global-scope address.  So you could say I am making it worse.

Maybe I should ask on Stack Exchange somewhere.
