You're right; I was thinking about error handling because that's the code I happened to be working with this morning. I was looking at the error handling code, as well, so when I said it was impossible I may have been wrong also. [The ICMP6_ECHO_REQUEST handling in icmp6_input() doesn't do any special handling for multicast at all, so I don't see why it doesn't Just Work.] Sorry for not paying enough attention to the question.
