Thanks for the great help, as always.  I guess I'd have to dig more before I understand
why putting the IP of the remote rddVR4 and %<local-dev> on the end makes it work...but it
does.

And, since it is bound to VRF, and there is exactly one netdevice in that VRF, shouldn't it
be able to figure out the device name?

# ip vrf exec _vrf15 ping -6 fe80::d064:9eff:fead:2156%rddVR5
PING fe80::d064:9eff:fead:2156%rddVR5(fe80::d064:9eff:fead:2156%rddVR5) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from fe80::d064:9eff:fead:2156%_vrf15: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.047 ms
64 bytes from fe80::d064:9eff:fead:2156%_vrf15: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.034 ms
64 bytes from fe80::d064:9eff:fead:2156%_vrf15: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.032 ms
64 bytes from fe80::d064:9eff:fead:2156%_vrf15: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.038 ms
64 bytes from fe80::d064:9eff:fead:2156%_vrf15: icmp_seq=5 ttl=64 time=0.021 ms


I'll look through that example script when I am fresh.

Thanks,
Ben
