Multiple routing tables for IPv6 works like for IPv4. Unlike doing it via conf.d/net for IPv4 this does not work for IPv6 (ip rule does not behave like ip route). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install kernel with IPV6_MULTIPLE_TABLES and IPV6_SUBTREES 2. emerge iproute2 3. create name for routing table: echo "44 vpn" >> /etc/iproute2/rt_tables 4. create config in conf.d/net rules_ethX="from 2001:0DB8:AAAA:BBBB::/64 table vpn priority 100" 5. start net.ethX Actual Results: IPv4: rules_eth3="from 10.10.0.0/26 table vpn priority 100" Expected to work with IPv6 rules_eth3="from 2001:0DB8:AAAA:BBBB::/64 table vpn priority 100" vpn-node-2 rc # /etc/init.d/net.eth3 restart * Bringing up interface eth3 ... * Adding RPDB rules RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument ... Expected Results: it should work ;) ip rule need the -6 flag for adding Rules for IPv6-Policy-Routing. Currently iproute2-development system is down due maintenance so i'm not able to have a look at the sources. maybe could also be an upstream issue. maybe interesting https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=680872
fixed in commit 06f6ce4
