Ah!  That route lookup indeed doesn't ever actually compare the interface
that route is configured for.  For some reason I convinced myself rtalloc
filters by interface - which is clearly wrong...  Sorry for misquoting your
text -- that's what I get for trying to be well prepared.

My question still stands though, am I crazy in trying to have a strong
model for v6 (does this for some reason not make sense?), does KAME already
do this and I've just missed it, or (least likely) am I right in thinking
it doesn't support it and this wouldn't be crazy?

Many thanks for the help so far.
