I've also built the system as a ZFS-root box, and I have to say that I'm quite happy with the disk performance: we're getting about 500MB/s write and 675MB/s read.

I think you need something along the line of ifconfig_bce0_alias0="inet
1.2.3.5 netmask ...", notice the 'inet', since aliasN can be used for
both inet and inet6.
HTH!
