That's a nice early X'mas gift :), Thank you.


BTW, I think that Linux's current IPv6 code is not enough to work with
multi-addressed network, because of weakness in source address selection.

I made a quick hacked code about longest match for srcaddr selection.
Please join this code (or like this) to current code.

(In fact, this code is originally written for 2.2.13 kernel,
 and tested with it (works fine).
 I try to fixed it for 2.3.31 but it is not tested well.)
