Description

In the presence of multiple ipv6 tunnels, a shortest path match should be done and attempts to send a 6in4 tunnel out a 6to4 tunnel (and vice versa) should be blocked.

Policy routing is required to be built into the kernel. There may also be a dependency on iproute2.

There needs to be a policy routing configuration file that talks more to the "right thing" in the presence of multiple 2002 and 2001 tunnels as well as in the presence of native ipv6.

Then the 6to4 and 6in4 and other ipv6 scripts need to be modified to use policy routing when available.

Well, after finally gaining access to a 2002 and 2001 enabled network, with 4 gateways, policy routing suddenly became a major issue worth trying to fix. Otherwise, weirdnesses ensue that are really hard to track down.

and after fiddling with it, it's tricky and involves too much stuff and I'm the only one with 4 ipv6 enabled gws I know of.
