I haven't thought of this before, but I suppose there might be a
similar problem for link-local addresses. As you say, it's any local
addressing.

The obvious solution is to use link-local DNS for link-local addresses... At least one vendor already has a handle on this:


% ftp fe80::203:93ff:fe88:672e%en1
Trying fe80::203:93ff:fe88:672e...
Connected to gapi.local.

(This behavior happens out of the box, no configuration necessary.)
