IPSec flows steal the traffic away before it is being sent out. You still
need routes in place to get to this point though. In your case adding a
dummy default route should work. Never tried but I think you should be
able to use the loopback for this and add a route like 'route add -inet6
default ::1' also don't forget to enable net.inet6.ip6.forwarding
