No problem. I wish that main IP is fixed. Only that additional IPs
change through time.

I am using 0.5.6-r8 with SOURCE_IP_ROUTES set to 1. Is this enough?

But adding additional IP to the localhost interface is so that Linux
would not have problems if some other interface goes down. This does
not enforce olsrd to use that as a main interface. This changed in
0.6.0? Or this is changed with MainIp? I would not like to bump our
version of olsrd so how can I make main IP stick with 0.5.6-r8?
