There is an RFC that describes how hosts should select addresses in such situations, http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3484 As an side; it would be great if some more IPv6 questions could be put on http://ipv6exchange.net/ - I would love to see that become a useful resource for people starting out with IPv6.
