Maybe this will help. I don't use IPv6, but it should be similar. Here
is an ifconfig of my box. I added the second address just to show the
results:
mybox# ifconfig
rl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
options=8<VLAN_MTU>
inet 208.70.104.3 netmask 0xffffff80 broadcast 208.70.104.127
inet 192.168.250.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.250.255
...now,
mybox# ifconfig rl0 delete 192.168.250.1
...and finally,
newmarlo# ifconfig
rl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
options=8<VLAN_MTU>
inet 208.70.104.3 netmask 0xffffff80 broadcast 208.70.104.127
HTH,
