I think so too -- although I'm using dhcpcd on -current now
which generally deals well with network connection changes.

A possibly related question: I've seen recommendations like
this:
route add -inet6 default ::1
route change -inet6 default -ifp $int
at various places (the quote is from the sixxs.net FAQ).
Can someone explain why this is better than adding
the route directly?

best regards
Matthias
