gotcha. Thanks for the diagram.

You don't have a fixes tag, but this should go to stable releases.

Also, this does not fix the forwarding case. For the forwarding case I
still see it trying to resolve fd00:200::fa from dut.

Namespace version of the above setup:

create_ns() {
        local ns=$1
        ip netns add ${ns}
        ip -netns ${ns} link set lo up
        ip netns exec ${ns} sysctl -qw net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
        ip netns exec ${ns} sysctl -qw net.ipv6.conf.all.keep_addr_on_down=1
        ip netns exec ${ns} sysctl -qw net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
        ip netns exec ${ns} sysctl -qw net.ipv6.conf.default.forwarding=1
}

create_ns tnl
create_ns dut
create_ns router
create_ns tnr

ip -netns tnl li add eth1 type veth peer name eth1d
ip -netns tnl li set eth1d netns dut name eth1
ip -netns tnl li set eth1 up
ip -netns tnl addr add fd00:100::1/64 dev eth1
ip -netns tnl -6 ro add default via fd00:100::2

ip -netns dut li set eth1 up
ip -netns dut addr add fd00:100::2/64 dev eth1

ip -netns dut li add eth2 type veth peer name eth2r

ip -netns dut li set eth2 up
ip -netns dut addr add dev eth2 fd00:125::1/64
ip -netns router  li set eth2 up
ip -netns router addr add dev eth2 fd00:125::2/64

ip -netns dut li add eth3 type veth peer name eth3r
ip -netns dut li set eth3r netns router name eth3
ip -netns dut li set eth3 up
ip -netns dut addr add dev eth3 fd00:175::1/64

ip -netns router addr add dev eth1 fd00:200::2/64
