There is a new box_ops page which can be used as an alternative to
the multihome_ops page to manipulate the registrations of hosts
("boxes" in the terminology of the IP registration database) with more
than one IP address.
Its functions and display are simpler than those of multihome_ops
and more in line with those of the other web pages. Unlike
multihome_ops it supports the addition or removal of IPv6 addresses
(if any are assigned to the user's management zones) as well as IPv4
ones. However, it is lacking some of the facilities available with
multihome_ops such as: using wildcards with display, selecting by
address, and displaying detailed properties of the associated IP
address objects.
We hope to add at least some of these facilities to box_ops (and to
other pages, such as vbox_ops) in due course, and to eliminate the
necessity to keep mutihome_ops in its current form. The main reason
for releasing box_ops now in this somewhat undeveloped state is its
support for IPv6 addresses.
