s/192\.169/169\.254/g

Sorry, that was a long day.  

Anyway, Zeroconf implicitly assumes that a node has only one active
physical interface; section 3.2 (Address Ambiguity) of RFC 3927 pretty
much makes it plain that using multiple physical interfaces with
Zeroconf addresses doesn't really work.  IPv6 uses the scope ID for that
purpose, either as fe80::1%eth0 (Unix interface name) or as fe80::1%11
(Windows interface number).

Even more important however is probably the fact that the Zeroconf is
aimed at applications in ad-hoc networks, while the link-local scope
with IPv6 is really aimed at network layer functionalities, like ND and
RD; applications should rarely if ever actually use it.


Cheers,

    Benedikt
