I don't see how this would work either (at least for Linux):

Here's my config:

eth1
inet6 addr: fe80::230:48ff:fe27:212f/64 Scope:Link

ib0
inet6 addr: fe80::208:f104:396:71/64 Scope:Link

ip -6 route show
fe80::/64 dev eth1  metric 256  mtu 1500 advmss 1440
fe80::/64 dev ib0  metric 256  mtu 2044 advmss 1984
ff00::/8 dev eth1  metric 256  mtu 1500 advmss 1440
ff00::/8 dev ib0  metric 256  mtu 2044 advmss 1984

So some help looks like it is needed to select the outgoing local
interface. It's not just a routing calculating on the destination
address as it appears to be in Solaris.
