That is pretty common practice for ISPs doing IPv6 (see RFC 6204), but OpenBSD doesn't support it at present. > However since I would also like for my router to forward > IPv6 packets, I'm not sure of how to make it work.

Manually setting the route is the only current workaround afaik. FreeBSD turned accept_rtadv into a per-interface flag which can be set (only) on the "upstream" interface so you can continue to send adv's on the "downstream" interfaces.
