I am having a problem diagnosing a multiple IPv6 interfaces problem. Any hint is appreciated.

OS:

Elmer# uname -a FreeBSD Elmer 8.0-STABLE FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE #94: Fri Dec 11 17:24:09 MST 2009 r...@elmer:/usr/src/sys/amd64/compile/ELMER amd64


I have two interfaces on the same switch fabric. They both reside within the same prefix. One is IPv4/IPv6 and the other strictly IPv6. The purpose of these two interfaces is the "normal" stuff and a "bulk data net." The bulk data net is merely an Ethernet intreface with a larger MTU to aid back-up (incoming data) and otehr tasks. The interfaces are defiend as follows:

Elmer# ifconfig -a
bce0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500

options=1bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4>
        ether 00:13:72:60:ac:52
        inet 172.19.10.10 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 172.19.10.255
        inet6 fe80::213:72ff:fe60:ac52%bce0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
        inet6 fd7c:3f2b:e791:1::ac13:a0a prefixlen 64
        nd6 options=3<PERFORMNUD,ACCEPT_RTADV>
        media: Ethernet 1000baseT <full-duplex>
        status: active
bce1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 8192

options=1bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4>
        ether 00:13:72:60:ac:50
        inet6 fd7c:3f2b:e791:1:0:1:ac13:a0a prefixlen 64
        inet6 fe80::213:72ff:fe60:ac50%bce1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
        nd6 options=3<PERFORMNUD,ACCEPT_RTADV>
        media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>)
        status: active
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384

        inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3
        nd6 options=3<PERFORMNUD,ACCEPT_RTADV>

Bce1 is the bulk data net. I can ping6 a host out the bce0 interface and get a response. However, though I can send ping6 packets out bce1 to the same host, that host cannot discover the MAC for bce1. For example:

Elmer# ping6 -S fd7c:3f2b:e791:1::ac13:a0a docs.penx.com
PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) fd7c:3f2b:e791:1::ac13:a0a --> fd7c:3f2b:e791:1::ac13:a15
16 bytes from fd7c:3f2b:e791:1::ac13:a15, icmp_seq=0 hlim=64 time=0.301 ms
16 bytes from fd7c:3f2b:e791:1::ac13:a15, icmp_seq=1 hlim=64 time=0.224 ms

Elmer# ping6 -S fd7c:3f2b:e791:1:0:1:ac13:a0a docs.penx.com
PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) fd7c:3f2b:e791:1:0:1:ac13:a0a --> 
fd7c:3f2b:e791:1::ac13:a15

(nothing returned).

(and so on)

If I watch the bce1 interface on Elmer using TCPdump in another window session, it is seeing the solicitation, at least via tcpdump; but no response as to who has fd7c:3f2b:e791:1:0:1:ac13:a0a.

I've included other data below. I am at a loss to understand why the bce1 interface isn't being advertised on the fabric. I am an IPv6 newbie. I have a router on the network.
