Description
In the default DHCP6 WAN scenario where you're monitoring a link local gateway, the source IP passed to dpinger includes the scope ID. dpinger exits with "Invalid source IP address". It also fails and exits with "Invalid destination IP address" if the gateway IP includes the scope ID. That seems to get omitted from the monitor IP passed to dpinger in every circumstance, but should be permissible.
ping6 works with such source and destination addresses, such as:
ping6 -S fe80::250:56ff:feac:dd8c%vmx0 fe80::250:56ff:fea7:f865%vmx0 PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) fe80::250:56ff:feac:dd8c%vmx0 --> fe80::250:56ff:fea7:f865%vmx0 16 bytes from fe80::250:56ff:fea7:f865%vmx0, icmp_seq=0 hlim=64 time=0.506 ms
