dhcpcd and routing of ipv6 prefixes



(oops, should have sent this to tech-net@ ...)

Can it be that if I use dhcpcd to obtain an IPv6 prefix from my router
(a FritzBox in my case), and it assigns the prefix::1 address to the
desired interface, that still no routing in that direction occurs?

Here is my case:

dhcpcd.conf:

    interface re0
	noipv4

    interface re1
	# enable routing solicitation get the default IPv6 route
	ipv6rs
	# also the default IPv4 route will go here
	gateway
	# request an IPv6 address
	ia_na 1
	# get a /64 and assign it to re0
	ia_pd 2 re0/0

ifconfig re0:

re0: ...
        inet 10.0.0.16 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255
        inet6 fe80::d63d:7eff:fe2d:6798%re0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
        inet6 2001:984:4b2a:fc::1 prefixlen 64

# The route to internal addresses goes to the default (i.e. wrong) interface,
# not to re0 as it should:

$ route get -inet6 2001:984:4b2a:fc:226:9eff:fece:8c54
   route to: vargaz.falu.nl
destination: ::
       mask: default
    gateway: fe80::ca0e:14ff:feee:a54b%re1
 local addr: fe80::5008:f7e9:73dd:7e21%re1
