I've seen bugs on Windows before where it disregards the
active/disabled status of an address. For instance, if you have
Internet Connection Sharing enabled from a disabled interface, it
would still send IPv6 Router Advertisements for 6to4 on other
interfaces (breaking others' IPv6 connectivity).
Per-adapter DNS servers is a pretty broken concept anyhow. How do you
know what adapter to use before you know what IP address you're trying
to contact?
