I've had this exact same problem on ALL of my FreeBSD hosts for, well, since ever. No matter what I've tried, if a box reboots, I must manually enter in the default IPv6 router. Even on IPv6-only hosts, the default gateway does not take upon reboot. I'm up for figuring this issue out today, if nobody else has a solution for you. Let me know. If you're interested, I'll fire up a couple of hosts that we can use and just continuously reboot if necessary :) Steve
