I have been having some issues with local ipv6 routes to machines that
are supposed to be on-link (attached to the same ethernet switch as my
test FreeBSD 9.0 box, and in the same /64) not being able to be
accessed properly after r201282.

Simple ping6 to the host does not result in a echo response once the
ndp entries go stale. (from looking at ndp -a)

I noticed that there seems to be a missing /64 on the routing table
entry, and doing a "route get -inet6 $hostname" for a host that is
supposed to be on-link and in the same /64 results in a routing entry
that points to the default router instead of the appropriate route for
the /64.

I have attached both a working (route.good.txt) and broken
(route.bad.txt) routing table (from netstat -rWnfinet6)

Let me know if you want a tcpdump, or other configuration data.

I can get it to work again if I hack up in6.c (not a valid fix TTBOMK) like so:

Thanks for the fix. r201543 seems to work well for me so far.
