   The problem you reported can be solved easily by applying the 
 BindAddress option inside a host-specific block of ssh_config or 
 $HOME/.ssh/config.  For example:
 
 Host ipv4host.example.com
   BindAddress my.local.ip4.addr
 
 Host ipv6host.example.com
   BindAddress my:local:ip6:addr
I know that I can do this, but I do not consider acceptable having to
configure every host I need to connect to.
Also, this will break if for some reason v6 connectivity is not
available and there is a fallback on IPv4.

Hi.
	The problem you reported can be solved easily by applying the 
BindAddress option inside a host-specific block of ssh_config or 
$HOME/.ssh/config.  For example:

Host ipv4host.example.com
BindAddress my.local.ip4.addr
Host ipv6host.example.com
BindAddress my:local:ip6:addr
You can also put a default IPv4 bindaddress in a Host * block at the 
end of the file then overrride it in the host-specific block for your 
IPv6 hosts, eg

Host ipv6host.example.com
BindAddress my:local:ip6:addr
[other ipv4 hosts]
Host *
BindAddress my.local.ip4.addr

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
