There is an RFC that describes how hosts should select addresses in such situations,
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3484
As an side; it would be great if some more IPv6 questions could be put on \
http://ipv6exchange.net/ - I would love to see that become a useful resource for \
people starting out with IPv6. If you have an IPv6 question, please do post!
