>Description:

	If an address starting "fe80::..." is used as the interface in
	an ip6fw "via" clause, the address is not recognized but is
	(apparently) interpreted as the hostname "fe80".

>How-To-Repeat:

	ip6fw add 55555 deny all from any to any via `ifconfig -au |
				fmt 1 | grep fe80 | head -1`

>Fix:

	Prepending a zero to the front of the address causes the desired
	interpretation.  However, the firewall rule still doesn't work
	when that is done, so I switched to the interface name instead.
