OK, question:
I have a machine that answers this when ping6'd with "-a a":
miyu% ping6 -a a 6to4.ipv6.fh-regensburg.de
PING6(2096=40+8+2048 bytes) 2002:d954:15e9:1::1 --> 2002:c25f:6cbf:1::1
112 bytes from 2002:c25f:6cbf:1::1:
fe80::2b0:d0ff:feee:7066
2001:638:a01:2:2b0:d0ff:feee:7066
fe80::1
fe80::2b0:d0ff:feee:7066
2001:638:0:500:0:a01:1:2
2002:c25f:6cbf:1::1
When requesting the global or link local addresses, I only get the 6to4
addresses, nothing else:
miyu% ping6 -c 1 -a g 6to4.ipv6.fh-regensburg.de
PING6(2096=40+8+2048 bytes) 2002:d954:15e9:1::1 --> 2002:c25f:6cbf:1::1
32 bytes from 2002:c25f:6cbf:1::1:
2002:c25f:6cbf:1::1
I'd expect the two 2001: addresses here too.
miyu% ping6 -c 1 -a l 6to4.ipv6.fh-regensburg.de
PING6(2096=40+8+2048 bytes) 2002:d954:15e9:1::1 --> 2002:c25f:6cbf:1::1
32 bytes from 2002:c25f:6cbf:1::1:
2002:c25f:6cbf:1::1
Dito, I'd expect all the fe80: addresses here.
This is between two 1.5.2 machines.
