Most VPS providers seem to do it that way.

This is how I have it set up (IPv6 part of ifconfig.vioif0 adjusted
with your IPv6 addresses):

inet6 2602:fed2:7116:d82c::1/64
!route add -inet6 -net 2602:fed2:7116::1/128 -connected -link -iface $int

Seems to work absolutely fine.

BTW, you appear to be in the same datacentre as my VPS, but different
provider - I have a VPS with linveo.com there (and I have actually
sent them a NetBSD image that automatically sets up the network
configuration).
