Hi all,

Off the top of my head, I thought about a new rule to the RFC 3484.
It's really a simple rule, and seems to solve several problematic
cases related to address selection.
The rule is:

  Prefer to select an address as the source address that is
  assigned by the selected next-hop.

This rule assumes that the next-hop selection (rule 5) is already
performed before visiting this rule. Also, it assumes the address
assignment and routing are correlated. The second assumption does
not apply to every environment, but typically this is true for
a site that uses RA. 

Any comments ?
