Description gshapiro+FreeBSD-gnats 2001-10-19 08:20:00 UTC 
In order to use IPv6 autoconfiguration (i.e., rtsol) as well as additional
IPv6 addresses for an interface (for virtual hosting), I put the following
in /etc/rc.conf:

ipv6_enable="YES"
ipv6_ifconfig_fxp0_alias0="3ffe:0507:018b:0001:d1dc:f7bc:0000:0001"

Since there is no "ipv6_ifconfig_fxp0" setting, the interface will be
autoconfigured.  However, /etc/rc.network6 (in network6_interface_setup())
adds alias entries before calling rtsol.  rtsol doesn't autoconfigure
the the interface address if it already has one.

Fix: I believe the rtsol must be done before the alias processing.  I've tested
this in my setup and it works.

This appears to be the person who manages rc.network6.  If not, let me know 
and I'll look at committing the patch myself.
