When a packet arrives, it comes on a specific interface (usually called
something like "le0" or "eth1"). The address of that interface is used to figure
out which subnet6 to use. (If a DHCPv6 relay is used, then the selection process
is slightly different.)

Once the subnet6 is selected, then the server picks an address from a range6
statement in that subnet6 declaration (if there are any). So, you should be able
to get what you want like so:

subnet6 fe80::/48 {
	range6 FC00:0000:4491:0002::/64;
}

Right now there is no way to get the server to give out multiple addresses to a
client, if you want to do that too.
