IPv6 source address selection

Hello,

My network has several IPv6 addresses and they don't route between themselves, due to the current source address selection it means that many times the network is simply not operational since Linux will choose an address for a different network than targeted for the connection.

I have seen in thread [1] that there is a patch for this and that another patch was supposed to be applied for 2.6.15(!), yet I'm using 2.6.17 and nothing works.

Another report about this is at [2]

Could whatever difference exists be resolved and this issue fixed? IPv6 is completely unusable on my network due to this issue.

Thanks,
Baruch
