[OpenSIPS-Users] How to ensure current IPV6 listening address

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Robert,

I see here two aspects:

1) how to determine the IP at OpenSIPS startup - you need to perform the 
IPv6 detection in a pre-start script and feed it to OpenSIPS. That is 
the way it should be

2) if the IP changes during runtime, there is nothing you can do rather 
then restarting - OpenSIPS cannot change listeners during runtime.
