I notice we have changed way IPV6 is done in rc.conf now.
I assume someone will update:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-ipv6.html

My question now concerns aliases, and what the norm will end up being.
Here is example below:
Here we have the new layout with IPV6, the below works fine, however since
the ifconfig lines for IPV4 and IPV6 are essentially the same other than 
the actual "inet" and "inet6", will it be ok to start with alias0 for both 
IPV4 and IPV6, or should I in this example be starting at alias4 for IPV6?
I would like idea to keep it way it is each protocal starting at alias0.


#GATEWAY
defaultrouter="67.159.46.233"
hostname="sunsaturn.com"
#IPV4
ifconfig_em1="inet 67.159.46.238 netmask 255.255.255.248"
ifconfig_em1_alias0="inet 67.159.46.234 netmask 255.255.255.248"
ifconfig_em1_alias1="inet 67.159.46.235 netmask 255.255.255.248"
ifconfig_em1_alias2="inet 67.159.46.236 netmask 255.255.255.248"
ifconfig_em1_alias3="inet 67.159.46.237 netmask 255.255.255.248"

#IPV6
ipv6_activate_all_interfaces="YES"
ipv6_network_interfaces="em1"
ipv6_defaultrouter="2001:49f0:4004:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001"
ifconfig_em1_ipv6="inet6 2001:49f0:4004:0000:0000:0000:0000:0002 prefixlen

ifconfig_em1_alias0="inet6 2001:49f0:4004:0000:0000:0000:0000:0003

ifconfig_em1_alias1="inet6 2001:49f0:4004:0000:0000:0000:0000:0004
