ping 2001:6f8:306::1 from 2001:6f8:306::11 -> works fine
ping 2001:6f8:202:202::2 from 2001:6f8:306::11 -> works like pinging
www.ipv6.org (i.e. only works when pinging 2001:6f8:306::1 at the same
time)

kaname$ ip -6 r g 2001:6f8:202:202::2

it's not a firewall issue (I tried with no rules and all default
policies to ACCEPT)

I don't see what's wrong with my setup.

Anyway thanks for your reply.
