I would like the server of my backend to point to a link-local IPv6 address (something like [fe80::020a:14ff:febe:36f8]). Like that I could reach a device on the local network, not having to care about it’s IPv4 configuration. However it doesn’t seem to work (I get a 503 service unavailable). With other IPv6 addresses for the same device (in my case [fd00:dead:beef:0:20a:14ff:febe:36f8]), all is fine, so it’s not a problem of IPv6 in general. I found a bug of wget here. It says there, that for link-local IPv6 addresses, the interface has to be specified and wget doesnt support that. Could this be the problem in HAProxy as well or can i do that somehow? Adding %eth0 sadly didn’t do the job.
Thanks a lot for any input
