That's something where I too have found IPv6 to be "interesting". Routing 
decisions are now being taken by the end nodes, not by the routers - though I 
guess that's not so much an IPv4 vs IPv6 thing, but a NAT vs non-NAT thing.
As it happens, I have IPv4 routing rules at work as I have two providers and so 
route by IPv4 source address in just the same way as for IPv6 addresses - the 
only difference is that which public IP to use is decided by MASQ rules rather 
than the end devices.
