I was wondering about ipv6 support for rdomains.  I set up a Virtualbox VM 
running OpenBSD 5.3 with a bridged network to my home network.   

I configured em0 into a vrf:

ifconfig em0 10.50.3.16 255.255.255.0 rdomain 1

and was able to ping the other hosts in my network.

I then configured an IPv6 address into the same vrf:

ifconfig em0 inet6 2601:1:XXXX:41::3/64 rdomain 1

and was unable to ping the host from the other hosts on my network.  I was 
unable to test the other way because ping6 appears to not be vrf-aware.  When I 
tcpdump on the interface I get messages such as:

May 17 20:32:33.010151 00:0c:29:7f:ba:11 33:33:ff:00:00:01 86dd 78: :: > 
ff02::1:ff00:1: icmp6: neighbor sol: who has 2601:1:XXXX:41::3
May 17 20:32:33.175504 00:0c:29:7f:ba:11 33:33:ff:7f:ba:11 86dd 78: :: > 
ff02::1:ff7f:ba11: icmp6: neighbor sol: who has fe80::20c:29ff:fe7f:ba11


It seems like multicast is getting a little goofy?  I also tried setting my 
virtual NIC into promiscuous mode, but it did not make a difference.  I will 
try with a physical box over the weekend, unless someone steps forward and 
tells me that this is not possible :)  

Does anyone know if it is possible to use ping6 within a routing domain?

Thanks,

Mattias
