I don't.  I do expect for these two scripts to behave similarly in
their own domains, however:

ifconfig bge0 inet6 fee1:: alias
ifconfig iwi0 inet6 fee1:: alias
route change -net -inet6 fee1::/64 -ifp iwi0
ifconfig bge0 inet6 fee1:: -alias
ifconfig bge0 inet6 fee1:: alias

*** *** ***

ifconfig re0 alias 192.168.1.10/24                                            
ifconfig ral0 alias 192.168.1.20/24                                           
route change 192.168.1.0/24 -ifp ral0                                         
ifconfig re0 -alias 192.168.1.10/24                                           
ifconfig re0 alias 192.168.1.10/24
