Interesting, I didn't know that. What I'm trying to do is to allow LXC
containers in a host to connect to containers in a different host,
having the hosts act as gateways; this is what it looks like:

         +--------+ fd77:a::1       fd77:a::2 +--------+
         | host 1 |---------------------------| host 2 |
         +--------+                           +--------+
             | fd77:c::1:1            fd77:c::2:1 |
             |                                    |
             | fd77:c::1:2            fd77:c::2:2 |
      +-------------+                       +-------------+
      | container 1 |                       | container 2 |
      +-------------+                       +-------------+

I'd like a web page running in container 1, por example, to be able to
access a database running in container 2. I expected to be able to
insert the route below via OSPF (everything works as expected when I
insert them manually):

   on host 1: route to network fd77:c:2/80 via fd77:a::2
   on host 2: route to network fd77:c:1/80 via fd77:a::1

but with OSPF the routes are added with the link-local addresses as
gateways so, a container can't reach the other (actually not even a host
can reach a container in another host).

Can you see a way to make this work?

Thanks in advance,
Andre
