Hello Andy:

I wanted to do something similar and when I realized that ip6fw didn't have
such option, I asked for it on the Kame mailing list, but they answered me
that they didn't see it as a feature demanded by the community so they
didn't have any plan to implement it on the short term.
(Anyway I think it shouldn't be hard to add such feature, 
but I'm a bit lazy :)

You can ask for it on Kame mailing-list again (because I ask for it a long 
time ago and it may have been already implemented, I don't know). Also I 
think that there are implementations of something called "source base 
routing", but I don't have experience with that.

Cheers.
