Description
A command script containing the following:
allow-pull-fqdn route-ipv6 www.openvpn.net fe80::8
Will generate the following error:
Wed Jun 13 16:38:56 2018 us=542179 IPv6 prefix 'www.openvpn.net': invalid IPv6 address Wed Jun 13 16:38:56 2018 us=542179 OpenVPN ROUTE: failed to parse/resolve route for host/network: www.openvpn.net
Expected behavior is same as with IPv4, i.e. that the domain name is resolved via DNS.

Since this is just something never implemented, it's not a bug but a feature wish.
But don't despair, there already is a patch in patchwork that addresses this for "ifconfig-ipv6" (https://patchwork.openvpn.net/patch/120/) and extending this for "route-ipv6" is supposedly easy.
It won't be in 2.4, though. It needs rewriting of existing code and this won't happen in the middle of a stable release series.
(Handing the bug to Ordex, because he's coding away all the interesting network bits anyway)

Mike, apparently the patch pointed out by Gert is already fixing this issue as well.
If you can, please give it a try and let us know.
Thanks!

@mike_SF any chance you could give this patch a try to confirm that this feature works as intended?
