Yes, I am using site-local addresses like "fec0::9ee3:6b4", where I
am coding the IPv4 address in the lower 32 bits, and I am using
a prefixlen=120.
Just wondering: is the "alias" necessary? I can add a site-local IPv6
address to the same interface without the "alias" ifconfig keyword. If this
is valid, then something as
ifconfig_fxp0="inet 158.227.6.180 netmask 255.255.255.0 inet6 fec0::9ee3:6b4 prefixlen
120"
should be OK.
