            Bug ID: 218508
           Summary: Tunneling and aliases using the tun device, reusing a
                    destination address works with IPv4, but not IPv6
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.0-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: reezer@reezer.org

I can create a tun device by using:

ifconfig tun0 create
ifconfig tun 10.1.2.0 196.2.3.4=20
ifconfig tun alias 196.2.3.3 196.2.3.4
ifconfig up

This works great and allows me to use the 10.1.2.0 and have it tunneled over
the second (aliased) tunnel when I set up the correct route using /sbin/rou=
te
add -net 10.0.0.0/8 -iface tun0.

I have this setup, using IPv6 only working as it is supposed to. To explain
what I am am actually achieving with this: In the background I am using BGP
over a one-to-one VPN software using the tunnel interface.

Doing the same thing on IPv6, however doesn't work when I add an alias, usi=
ng
the same destination address twice:

ifconfig tun0 inet6 fdaa:abc:abc:abc::1 fe80::111:0 prefixlen /128
ifconfig tun0 inet6 alias fe80::111:1 fe80::111:0 prefixlen /128
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists

Using another destination address this works however. Since this works on I=
Pv4
I'd expect it to work here as well.
