Voodoo, indeed... I'm sure there's a /48 used somewhere but to be more
specific, or rather obvious, my default gateway resides at the boundary
of a /56 - 2001:41D0:2:E700::/56 If you pay close attention you will
notice that the default gateway is the last usable address from that
range. I had already tried this btw, I spent some time confirming what I
am was seeing; what was the actual case and ways I could perhaps change
the configuration to get it Just Working. However, I would rather it
worked correctly and not contain a configuration option that I either do
not understand it's necessity nor do I see it as necessary.

I don't claim to know IPv6 inside and out but one consideration I had
was that because of the host route for the default gateway FreeBSD does
not solicit for the "on-link gateway" because the interface is not set=20
to ACCEPT_RTADV. But that doesn't make immediate sense.

Corrections and education welcome.

I would, but IMO this isn't the most optimal solution; changing my
prefix length so that I can reach the gateway... Can this kind of host
routing just not be done ? The way I see this issue is that without
ACCEPT_RTADV on my interface FreeBSD won't attempt Neighbour
Solicitation for the default gateway but I am uncertain why this is the
case. Bug or policy or That's How It Works.
