We discussed the following scenario: Linuxrouter with two IPv6 WAN connections and behind the Linuxrouter several clients which got IPv6 IPs assigned from both lines. Let's say primay WAN is 2001:db8:1001: and secondary WAN is 2001:db8:2002: and with that the client got assigned 2001:db8:1001::abcd and 2001:db8:2002::abcd. Now there should be a policy based routing for http protocol active on the router to send every http stuff through the 2nd WAN connection. So default is the 2001:db8:1001: but for http 2001:db8:2002: should be used. When the client send HTTP requests he will use 2001:db8:1001::abcd as his default IP, so without NAT there is (AFAIK) no way to send the HTTP traffic through the 2nd line since this IP is not valid for that. With NAT i could change the source IP according to the policy based rule. I didn't found a working implementation that tells the client which source IP to use based on the protocol/policy based routing decision on the router. So either the router needs to modify the request to suit the need which means NAT or the client needs to choose the other IP which means he needs to know this information. Would you suggest to _use_ NAT in such an usecase or do you know a better solution i hadn't seen yet?
