[afnog] setting permanent IPv6 address on linux

[Godfred Ofori Som]

I am trying to assign multiple IP addresses (both v4 and v6) on my box's 
(Redhat 9) NIC. 
Although I can add addresses and assign static routes using ifconfig eth0 
inet6 add command the system does not keep these settings after reboot: It 
only keeps the IPv4 addresses. 
The same holds true when I try to enable packet forwarding from the 
configuration files in 
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/ and /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/. After reboot, my 
settings are being replaced by the defaults. 
Does anybody know how to make these settings permanent?

best regards
godfred
