I don't understand this comment. I would say that I do
have problems with the source address selection -
otherwise it would be preferring ipv6, right ?

I have tried working around this problem by adding:
ip6addrctl_policy="ipv6_prefer"
to /etc/rc.conf but I still get the same behaviour:

[tykling_at_tykburk ~]$ telnet www.freebsd.org 80 < /dev/null
Trying 69.147.83.34...
Connected to red.freebsd.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
[tykling_at_tykburk ~]$ telnet -6 www.freebsd.org 80 < /dev/null
Trying 2001:4f8:fff6::22...
Connected to red.freebsd.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
[tykling_at_tykburk ~]$

Does anyone know a usable workaround which I can use to
make my machine prefer ipv6 over ipv4, until this problem is fixed ?

Thanks!
