I have a (tap) server setup with `topology subnet` and an IPv6 pool
configured `server-ipv6 fdda:ba64:dcdc:1::1/64'

Clients can connect, get IPv6 addresses and ping the server on the address
it assigns its tap interface (fdda:ba64:dcdc:1::2).  The clients can not
communicate with one another- functionality that is required for my
application.  Running two instances of openvpn on the server DOES allow the
clients to communicate (with a single client connected to each instance) so
I know the server is configured to route IPv6 traffic correctly.  I can't
use the client-to-client functionality in openvpn because I will need to do
traffic filtering in the server.

With 2 clients connected with the addresses fdda:ba64:dcdc:1::1002 and
fdda:ba64:dcdc:1::1001, when trying to ping from one to the other, I can
see the NDP traffic on the server's tap interface-

03:55:01.978033 IP6 fdda:ba64:dcdc:1::1002 > ff02::1:ff00:1001: ICMP6,
neighbor solicitation, who has fdda:ba64:dcdc:1::1001, length 32
03:55:02.977670 IP6 fdda:ba64:dcdc:1::1002 > ff02::1:ff00:1001: ICMP6,
neighbor solicitation, who has fdda:ba64:dcdc:1::1001, length 32
03:55:03.977732 IP6 fdda:ba64:dcdc:1::1002 > ff02::1:ff00:1001: ICMP6,
neighbor solicitation, who has fdda:ba64:dcdc:1::1001, length 32
03:55:04.978194 IP6 fdda:ba64:dcdc:1::1002 > ff02::1:ff00:1001: ICMP6,
neighbor solicitation, who has fdda:ba64:dcdc:1::1001, length 32
03:55:05.977656 IP6 fdda:ba64:dcdc:1::1002 > ff02::1:ff00:1001: ICMP6,
neighbor solicitation, who has fdda:ba64:dcdc:1::1001, length 32

Is this an issue with the IPv6 multicast implementation in openvpn?  Is
there some extra server configuration necessary for Linux to route IPv6
multicast traffic in-and-out the same interface?

I'm not quite sure where to look from here- thanks for any pointers!
