Here is another "thing":
# ifconfig lo15 rdomain 15 up
# ifconfig lo15
lo15: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> rdomain 15 mtu 32768
index 18 priority 0 llprio 3
groups: lo
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
inet6 fe80::1%lo15 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x12
-> the interface gets the ::1 address
# ifconfig lo15 rdomain 0
# ifconfig lo15 destroy
# ifconfig lo15 rdomain 15 up
# ifconfig lo15
lo15: flags=8009<UP,LOOPBACK,MULTICAST> rdomain 15 mtu 32768
index 19 priority 0 llprio 3
groups: lo
-> the interface does not get the ::1 address
The difference is, that in the second case, the (empty) rtable 15 still
exists, as it is not deleted when the interface is moved to rdomain 0.
# ifconfig lo15 destroy
# route -T 15 show
Routing tables
