I want to change the contents of my /etc/sysconfig/static-routes-ipv6 and NOT restart the network.

Is there a way to do this???

I know about ifup and ifdown for interfaces, but what about routing (and IP6 at that).

Have you tried /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-routes ??

This did the trick. Thanks.

Change the routes in /etc/sysconfig/static-routes-ipv6 then manually add them with the route command. Example from route man page;

For IPv6, only the slash format is accepted. The following example creates an IPv6 route to the destination 33fe:: with a netmask of 16 one-bits followed by 112 zero-bits.

 example# route add -inet6 3ffe::/16 somegateway

I knew about the route command, was hoping for something that would read the file. The ifup-routes sounds like the command I need.

 In cases where the gateway does not  uniquely  identify  the
 output  interface (for example, when several interfaces have
 the same address), you can use the -ifp ifname  modifier  to
 specify the interface by name. For example, -ifp lo0 associ-
 ates the route with the lo0 interface.
