The functionality appears to work exactly as expected, thanks! However the comment to the gai.conf file didn't get correctly added, I think. I think the Fedora people patched a newer version of the upstream file, so the additional comment about this being the default in Fedora/Ubuntu should have been added below a recently added upstream comment about the RFC1918/3484 problems. If you understand what I mean. :-)
Anyway - the relevant parts of the gai.conf file in Fedora now looks like this: ---- # scopev4 <mask> <value> # Add another rule to the RFC 3484 scope table for IPv4 addresses. # By default the scope IDs described in section 3.2 in RFC 3484 are # used. Changing these defaults should hardly ever be necessary. # The definitions in RFC 1918 are equivalent to: # #scopev4 ::ffff:169.254.0.0/112 2 #scopev4 ::ffff:127.0.0.0/104 2 #scopev4 ::ffff:10.0.0.0/104 5 #scopev4 ::ffff:172.16.0.0/108 5 #scopev4 ::ffff:192.168.0.0/112 5 #scopev4 ::ffff:0.0.0.0/96 14 # # For sites which use site-local IPv4 addresses behind NAT there is # the problem that even if IPv4 addresses are preferred they do not # have the same scope and are therefore not sorted first. To change # this use only these rules: # #scopev4 ::ffff:169.254.0.0/112 2 #scopev4 ::ffff:127.0.0.0/104 2 #scopev4 ::ffff:0.0.0.0/96 14 # # This is what the Red Hat setting currently uses. ---- This is more accurate, except that the comment "The definitions in RFC 1918 are equivalent to:" is a thinko, it should instead read "The definitions in RFC 3484 are equivalent to:".
