[ipv6hackers] IPv6 source address selection on Linux

Quoting Romain Boissat (rboissat at lv0.in):

No i can't. As i stated in my original email.
Although i might have been more clear on that subject:

| Now there's really a lot of references TO that RFC but i was unable to
| find any workable examples on how to set this up. FIDDLING WITH
| PREFERED_LFT ON THE V6 ADDRESS WON'T WORK EITHER IN THIS SITUATION.

... because if i set the preferred_lft for the public routable
2001:db8:: ip to 0, it also sources fded:e128:5900::1 for every other
address on the public internet. I want it to only source from
fded:e128:5900::1 when connecting to 2001:db8::1 (which is on the same
L2 network, and is why i need this so bad). It should use its public
routable IPv6 address on all other occasions.

Thanks though,
-Sander.
