Specify IPv6 NAT with FreeBSD 9.3 in pf.conf as
nat on $external inet6 from $local6 to any -> ($external)
results in pf attempting to load balance between the routable IPv6
addresses and the link-local IPv6 address as the translation addresses.
Specify IPv6 NAT with FreeBSD 9.3 in pf.conf as
nat on $external inet6 from $local6 to any -> ($external:0)
results in pf using the link-local IPv6 address as address as the
translation address.
Both of these behaviors are wrong; pf does not understand scope of IPv6
link-local addresses as different from routable ipV6 addresses.
The following patch permits the use of ($external::0) syntax to select the
first routable IPv6 address rather than the link-local address so it can be
used with IPv6 NAT correctly. It only handles the case of one routable IPV6
address and ($external) syntax still attempts to round-robin between
routable IPv6 addresses and the link-local IPv6 address. Not sure if
changing ($external) syntax to omit link-local addresses would cause other
problems?
