Your problem is because the default ipv6_prefer policy prefers IPv4 addresses when the source IPv6 addr is in 2002::/16, the destination IPv6 address is not in the same prefix, and IPv4 addresses can be used for the both. It is not a bug of the selection mechanism. The ipv6_prefer policy is defined in RFC 3484 2.1 and this policy chooses a src IPv6 addr in 2002::/16 only if the dest addr is also in the same prefix. You can remove the special rule for 2002::/16 by putting the following lines as /etc/ip6addrctl.conf and reboot the system: ::1/128 50 0 ::/0 40 1 #2002::/16 30 2 ::/96 20 3 ::ffff:0:0/96 10 4 By installing the above, IPv6 address will be preferred even if it is in 2002::/16. I am still not sure why there is a difference between 8.X and 9.X on your box because the code is almost the same. I guess no policy was installed when you used an 8-stable system. -- Hiroki ----Security_Multipart(Mon_Oct_17_04_29_31_2011_969)-- Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAk6bMJwACgkQTyzT2CeTzy1/RQCdGaRkMbsKQqbyxZqWFTDkca+z JOAAn2wmMVFcUnJDjZG17p6Bw22Q21UQ =U/De -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ----Security_Multipart(Mon_Oct_17_04_29_31_2011_969)----
