If you ever get that to work, please post here so I can learn - I've
tried something similar recently (two GUAs from two different upstream
providers, and trying to insert a policy "use GUA 1 for all connects
TO 2001:608::/32, and GUA 2 for everything *else*") and couldn't make
it do anything.

What I did not test was "change gai.conf, then reboot" - mostly due
to lack of available time.  I just gave up and cursed...
