Not that anyone replied, but I fixed this after hunting around for about
the last four days. It was very simple. I needed to specify an inet6
address for the internal interface on the firewall (the prefixlen of /64
is the default), and to run rtadvd rl0
# rtadvd -d rl0
# ifconfig rl0 inet6 3ffe:b80:1d82:2::1
and on the hosts I needed to add "ipv6_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf
Entering "sysctl -w net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv=1" has the same effect,
but obviously putting ipv6_enable="YES" into rc.conf keeps it that way by
default.
I think this could really use being in the handbook. I suppose the
right thing for me to do is email the author at the top of the page with
an html patch.
William.
