Matthew,

What you are asking for is multihoming. As of today, there is no deployed solution to do this without BGP.

Here was the goal:

I'm at 3ffe:b80:25d:1:blah. I want to get to 3ffe:c25:....blah. Now I 
have a conneciton to freenet6, which is all of 3ffe:b00/22(or something 
like that), and a connection to say Hurricane Electric. For this 
example, say 3ffe:c25:..blah was a tunnel from Hurricane Electric. I 
would like some way to be able to tell this, and be able to route 
traffic to the provider closest to my destination, OR, the only provider 
who actually has a connection to my destination. Is there any other way 
to do this without BGP? If so, I'm all ears. :)
