Gotcha.  OK, back to being on-topic for FreeBSD: how would I assign v6
addresses to those interfaces?  I'm running rtadvd on that machine and it's
my understanding that sending and accepting advertisements on the same host
is a no-no.  Should I just give them all static assignments in /etc/rc.conf?
And is there any suggested way for "inventing" the addresses for those
interfaces?

That refers to:

...which does not resolve.  :-/
