Yet from /usr/src/lib/libc/getaddrinfo.c

            /* Rule 7: Prefer native transport. */
            /* XXX: not implemented yet */

But it is not used to distinguish between 2001: and 2002: as ::/0 has a 
higher precedence in the default FreeBSD IPv6 address selection policy 
table.  Where does FreeBSD and by extension KAME get its strong 
preference for 2001: from?  I just can't find the code.

(I'm reviving this old thread because you chose to ignore my mail to you 
but did not fail to reply to a single mail I sent to the list concerning 
this.)
