Check out.... http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/ipv6.html ``Some of the userland tools support extended numeric IPv6 syntax, as documented in draft-ietf-ipngwg-scopedaddr-format-00.txt. You can specify outgoing link, by using name of the outgoing interface like "fe80::1%ne0". This way you will be able to specify link-local scoped address without much trouble.'' -- Mike Oliver [see complete headers for contact information]
