Hmmm. This config does not work: ifconfig_re0="inet 208.70.104.210 netmask 255.255.255.192" ifconfig_re0_alias0="inet 208.70.104.211 netmask 255.255.255.255" ifconfig_re0_alias1="inet6 2607:f118::b6 prefixlen 64" ifconfig_re0_alias2="inet6 2607:f118::b7 prefixlen 64" defaultrouter="208.70.104.193" ipv6_defaultrouter="2607:f118::1" I've got native v6. The above particular box is one of only a couple that have more than a single IP per protocol. The rest are generic, one v4 and one v6 address. Admittedly, I haven't spent much time at all on the issue, as my solution is simply to not let the boxes go down :) % uptime 10:52AM up 727 days, 3:11, 6 users, load averages: 0.19, 0.19, 0.24 %uptime 10:54AM up 549 days, 8:38, 1 user, load averages: 0.12, 0.16, 0.26 ...seriously, all of my other FreeBSD boxes receive proper updates etc, and the only time they are rebooted is when someone is at the console (or right nearby) and can manually enter in the default route. My FreeBSD routers running Quagga don't have this issue, presumably because they're in the DFZ, and acquire all routing info dynamically. Steve
