That is exactly my point: it is not about the prefered use of IPv4 vs
IPv6. It is selecting the right source IPv6 address (when there are two:
a static and a dynamic/autogenerated one) for a specified target IPv6
prefix (network). So that our administrative goals can be fulfilled.

And I am searching for a way of  achieving the same on a Mac what can be
done on Linux, Windows (XP!) and probably freeBSD.
