We have had DAD related issues even on FreeBSD 6.2. FreeBSD does not 
seem to perform DAD when an interface is brought down administratively 
(ifconfig) and then brought back up. It performs DAD on boot though, or 
when a new IPv6 address is added to an interface.

Are you seeing similar problems?

Thanks,
