It is a nightmare for me - I run Solaris 9 behind a PPPoE DSL with the
MTU at 1492 between me and the DSLAM.

Near as I can say ever since I enable IPv6 for Apache 2.x testing I have
had issues with the SMTP system - which would seem totally unrelated.

Seems that IPv6 always sets DF=1 when routing betwen IPv6-IPv4... I set
IPv6 to not forward packets - effectively disabling this function - but
it has only helped a little.

Good luck with your MTU Path Discovery.
