Mmm - and it seems to work on my FreeBSD host: ticso@cicely6# ping6 -I de2 3ffe:400:8d0:304:200:91ff:fe9b:20e7 PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) 3ffe:400:8d0:303:200:91ff:fea7:1342 --> 3ffe:400:8d0:304:200:91ff:fe9b:20e7 ping6: sendmsg: No route to host ping6: wrote 3ffe:400:8d0:304:200:91ff:fe9b:20e7 16 chars, ret=-1 ping6: sendmsg: No route to host ping6: wrote 3ffe:400:8d0:304:200:91ff:fe9b:20e7 16 chars, ret=-1 ^C --- 3ffe:400:8d0:304:200:91ff:fe9b:20e7 ping6 statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss ticso@cicely6# ping6 -I de3 3ffe:400:8d0:304:200:91ff:fe9b:20e7 PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) 3ffe:400:8d0:304:200:91ff:fea7:1343 --> 3ffe:400:8d0:304:200:91ff:fe9b:20e7 16 bytes from 3ffe:400:8d0:304:200:91ff:fe9b:20e7, icmp_seq=0 hlim=64 time=1.216 ms 16 bytes from 3ffe:400:8d0:304:200:91ff:fe9b:20e7, icmp_seq=1 hlim=64 time=1.153 ms 16 bytes from 3ffe:400:8d0:304:200:91ff:fe9b:20e7, icmp_seq=2 hlim=64 time=1.196 ms ^C --- 3ffe:400:8d0:304:200:91ff:fe9b:20e7 ping6 statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 1.153/1.188/1.216 ms So you can already have multi site machines regardless of addresses used within each site. Seems the whole discussion was pointless to some degree.
