Yes but when using "up" and "down" you need to explicitly specify the
full command to use. In this case that means something (from memory)
like:


iface eth0 inet static
	...
	up ip -6 addr add 2001:8b0:3a9::101/48 dev eth0
	down ip -6 addr del 2001:8b0:3a9::101/48 dev eth0

You probably also need to add an "ip route add default dev eth0" for
each as well.
