Hi Lev,
just use another static route instead of the ipv6_defaultroute entry:
ipv6_static_routes="ipv6defgw ipv6defgwroute"
ipv6_route_ipv6defgw="2a01:4f8:131:60a0:: -prefixlen 59 -iface re0"
ipv6_route_ipv6defgwroute="default 2a01:4f8:131:60a0::1"
It's not pretty but works without having to modify the rc scripts.
Greetings,
Sascha
