Running the following commands does indeed stop this
route add -inet6 ::ffff:0.0.0.0 -prefixlen 96 ::1 -reject
route add -inet6 ::0.0.0.0 -prefixlen 96 ::1 -reject
I found these in /etc/rc.d/network_ipv6 but I can't see why
these wouldnt be run on a machine that doesn't have an IPv6
address, they seem to be added correctly on machines that do.
Speculation: the machine(s) which didn't have the routes maybe
didn't have
ipv6_enable="YES"
in /etc/rc.conf?
Doh!
Indeed they don't so of course /etc/rc.d/network_ipv6 doesnt
start but IPv6 is in the kernel and ipv6 is configured on lo0 via
/etc/rc.d/auto_linklocal so it looks like ipv6 is enabled even
though it isnt.
Given this would a reasonable patch be to move the internal routing
to auto_linklocal i.e. these lines:-
# disallow "internal" addresses to appear on the wire
route add -inet6 ::ffff:0.0.0.0 -prefixlen 96 ::1 -reject
route add -inet6 ::0.0.0.0 -prefixlen 96 ::1 -reject
Seems the relavent fix was part of a much bigger commit:-
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=197139
So it may not be easy to patch this into 8.x

Steve
