Need help configuring IPv6 on webserver

Hi,

(_newb alert!_) Just wanted to go completely IPv6 on my FreeBSD 10 VPS and I'm having problems making this work, most likely due to my lack of understanding how to configure it. I have 20 IPv6 addresses from my VPS provider and I wanted to make my web server use one of them statically. One of the problems I'm having is to figure out the default gateway address, not sure if I have to open a support ticket for that or I can find it out with netstat or something?

This is what I have in rc.conf:

Code: 
ifconfig_vtnet0_ipv6="inet6 2a00:f48:1025:feed:b00b:feed:b3c9:c6c8 prefixlen 64"
ipv6_defaultrouter="2a00:f48:1025::1"
rtsold_enable="YES"
ip6addrctl_policy="ipv6_prefer"

I'm not sure if the prefixlen value is correct, how do I figure that out? Same goes for defaultrouter address.

Please help,
Thanks!

Just ask your provider.

This is what I have in rc.conf:
Code: 
ifconfig_vtnet0_ipv6="inet6 2a00:f48:1025:feed:b00b:feed:b3c9:c6c8 prefixlen 64"
ipv6_defaultrouter="2a00:f48:1025::1"
rtsold_enable="YES"
ip6addrctl_policy="ipv6_prefer"

You don't need rtsold(8) because you're using static addresses.

Again, your provider should have mentioned this. Most commonly used values are /64 and /48.
 
I asked and guy said this:

Q: How do i find out IPv6 address of default router?
A: For us it's always ::1 on our allocated subnets.

What does this mean? What's the address I need?
