Subject:   what is wrong with ipv6_defaultrouter ?

(FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE)

I have two ipv6 related lines in my /etc/rc.conf:

ifconfig_em0_alias0="inet6 XXX::2/48"
ipv6_defaultrouter="XXX::1"

When I boot like this, I do not get a default ipv6
route in my routing table.  'netstat -rn' shows me a
default route for ipv4, but no default route for ipv6.

I am forced to manually type in:

route add -inet6 default XXX::1

and then everything works and I have a default ipv6
route.

My question is, what have I done wrong in rc.conf and
how can I get a ipv6 default route at boot time from
an rc.conf directive ?

Thanks.
