How does one turn off IPv6 RH in IOS not via eACL?
In http://www.6net.org/events/workshop-2003/marin.pdf from 2003 slide 11 
says it can't be turned off.  Yet in slide 20 of Biondi/Ebalard it says it 
can be deactivated in IOS.

So can someone point out the IOS command to deactivate it?

Thanks,
Hank
