Thanks, but this doesn't work for me. I did:
- configure my interface with /64 prefix len
- add both /64 IPv6 blocks to the routing table:

route add -inet6 <<ipv6_block>> -link -iface ix0

gateway doesn't respond to ping6 (I get sendmsg: Invalid
argument)

For now it seems that the only working configuration is to set my
interface prefix len to 56.
