Probably right, but sadly similar thing happens already with IPv4
10-nets. The local ISP's provide only 10/8 addressess (with NAT), and
their DNS returns 10-addresses. Now if your host is connected
simultaneously to two ISP's (for example first to local ISP to get
access, and then virtually through a VPN tunnel to remote intranet,
which also SADLY happens to use 10-addresses and own DNS servers).

In this case you have to do similar "scope-id" things with IPv4
addresses, route queries to different DNS servers depending whether
application is using ISP's addresses or intranet addresses (yes, host
implementation GETS difficult).
