Thanks for your help - indeed, after removing dummy0 and assigning the 
ipv6-addresses to the vmnet-Interfaces everything is running fine.

However, the reason for using dummy in favor of vmnet interfaces was, that 
dummy0 can be configured via /etc/network/interfaces easily (debian-style), 
while vmnet cannot (on boot time - the vmware-interfaces come up later on). Do 
you know a nice way for hooking the vmnet ipv6-assignments into the boot 
process (apart from the obvious init-Script #!/bin/sh \n ip -6 ....)?

Thanks,
