That configuration has been working, unchanged, for a few months now. 
Until recently it used the fxp0 interface, as evidenced by the fact that 
it actually worked.  :-)

Again, it worked.  If it hadn't, I would have kept messing with it until 
it did.   I host web and mail on that host's IPv6 address and was very 
keen in getting it up and running.

Perhaps.  I'm content with anything that keeps my connectivity up 
between reboots.
