Init scripts adding support for other arguments
This diff of net-misc/ptrtd/files allows to specify in /etc/conf.d/ptrtd all daemon arguments.
The homepage strongly discourages further use of this program. http://www.litech.org/ptrtd/ from homepage: December 12, 2010: ptrtd officially declared dead For an extremely deceased project, ptrtd gets a lot of hits. Nobody should be using it. It is highly insecure and known to cause data corruption in translated sessions. Instead please use TAYGA, which is a stable, production-ready stateless NAT64 that does not suffer from ptrtd's many problems. Like ptrtd, TAYGA runs as an out-of-kernel daemon that uses the TUN interface to exchange packets with the kernel. Additionally TAYGA supports IPv4->IPv6 session initiation, ICMP translation, and full TCP pass-through to allow window scaling, TCP timestamps, etc. > For an extremely deceased project, ptrtd gets a lot of hits.

For a long time there was a section in the Gentoo IPv6 Router Guide that described how to set up ptrtd and totd, which was probably a source of a lot of the hits. Apparently now that section has been removed entirely instead of being rewritten to use TAYGA in place of ptrtd.
