[OLSR-users] Same IP address for several interfaces

[Jeromie Reeves]

This sounds like a great place for IPv6. Have you looked into what that 
would require?
Does this network need IPv4 access in or out of it? Using a stateless 
address configuration
you could give each router a address and have each interface's mac used 
to complete its
full v6 address.
