Hi list,

I've assigned an ULA address[1] to my network interface rl0, but avahi is
not considering that address for mDNSing, instead it mDNSes link-local
address, whereas in my Linux boxen, Avahi mDNSes non-link-local
address (if available).

----8<----8<----
[abbe at monte-cristo ~]$ ifconfig rl0
rl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=8<VLAN_MTU>
        ether 00:1b:38:ea:5c:76
        inet6 fe80::21b:38ff:feea:5c76%rl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 
        inet 172.16.0.7 netmask 0xffffffe0 broadcast 172.16.0.31
        inet6 fdxx:xxxx:xxxx::xxxx prefixlen 48 
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active
[abbe at monte-cristo ~]$ avahi-resolve -6 -n monte-cristo.local
monte-cristo.local      fe80::21b:38ff:feea:5c76

Looks like avahi-core/iface-pfroute.c needs to be fixed for this
too.
