 I believe the current behaviour is the correct one. From the BUGS
 section of the rtsol(8) man page:
 
         The IPv6 autoconfiguration specification assumes a
         single-interface host. You may see kernel error messages
         if you try to autoconfigure a host with multiple interfaces.
         Also, it seems contradictory for rtsold to accept multiple
         interface arguments.
 
 Cheers.
