[pfSense] IPv6 Routing in pfSense

[Tassos Chatzithomaoglou]

I've been trying for many months to make DHCPv6-PD work reliably over PPPoE, but i haven't got any positive result until now.
Besides that, i find confusing a lot of IPv6 options in the GUI.
Other than that, Dual-Stack seems to work fine.
