right

would "route add -host 10.0.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 10.0.0.2" on
the first host above, "route add -host 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.0.0.2", and "route add default gateway 10.0.0.1" on the third
host do the job?  Then, once the v4 static routes are functional, the v6
radvd takes over and advertises v6 addresses and routes to 10.0.0.3?
