Hi Vlad,
Thanks a lot. Can you please let me know which version of kernel has
this fix? Am using 2.6.9-22.EL #1 SMP.
Ahhh. RHEL 4 ;)
Try any Fedora kernel. Not sure the exact version it was fixed in,
but anything 2.6.15+ should have the fix.

Issues that I have:
I]
All outbound traffic from a Linux machine needs scope id. Why?
Because linux does not implement the concept of default interface. If
you only have link-local addresses (the ones that start with fe80:) then
you always have to specify a scope id. If you configure addresses with
larger scope, you will _not_ need to always use scope id.
[II]
Linux-Linux communication on IPv6 does not work even on specifying the
scope
id. This is messy and shouldn't it work ? Please provide your
comments.
This is an old bug and has been fixed. You need to update your kernel.
The problem is with source address selection picking loopback interface,
and then the scope id ends up mismatched.
