That configuration has been working, unchanged, for a few months now. 
Until recently it used the fxp0 interface, as evidenced by the fact that 
it actually worked.  :-)

Again, it worked.  If it hadn't, I would have kept messing with it until 
it did.   I host web and mail on that host's IPv6 address and was very 
keen in getting it up and running.

between reboots.
