[ipv6hackers] IPv6 source address selection on Linux

Yes. Like i do with IPv4, see my original mail.

BUT, even though i specify 'src fded:e128:5900::1', this does *NOT* end
up in the routing table (like it does for IPv4). *PLEASE* try this
yourself.

I've been there long before i mailed this list for help.

I'm fairly certain i need to fiddle with gai.conf and label / preference
settings - but there is no information on what i should put in there to
get the behaviour as described:

- source from fded:e128:5900::1 *ONLY* for traffic to 2001:db8::1
- source from public routable v6 address for anything else
