I am just not doing a very good job of explaining.  I am not confused about the 
role of each daemon.  I am setting up a router and that is why I am using 
rtadvd.

I am confused about which daemon gets the address and default route assigned, 
to the router.  Can rtadvd do this?

Here is an sample from the daemon log, after rtadvd starts (after pppoe has 
connected to the ISP)..

rtadvd[10686]: sendmsg on pppoe0: No route to host
rtadvd[10686]: prefix xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxx::/64 from yyyy::yyy:yyyy:yyyy:yyyy on 
pppoe0 is not in our list

So now if I go:

ifconfig pppoe0 inet6 xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxx::/64
route add -inet6 default -ifp pppoe0 yyyy::yyy:yyyy:yyyy:yyyy

The above addresses are dynamic.

Voila, I have ipv6 connectivity on the router, then dhcp6c can assign an 
address from a static address block the ISP provides me, to the 2nd interface.

Am I making more sense?
