Because my provider doesn't assign IPv6 addresses on the DSL connection
I simply manually assign a local and remote IPv6 address and set a
default route to the remote IPv6 address like this:

	ifconfig pppo0e inet6 2001:8b0:114:1::1 fe80::2 prefixlen 128
	route add -inet6 default fe80::2 -iface -ifp pppoe0

[The above is of course not done manually but via "/etc/ifconfig.pppoe0"
 and "/etc/rc.conf".]

The suggestion to use an IPv6 link local address and how to make that
work was provided by Ignatios Souvatzis.

Such things happen quiet frequently. And ex-fellow worker of mine created
a nice Linux based infrastructure at a previous employeer. The admin
which had to look after it didn't like Linux and converted everything
to Windows within weeks.
