Do you think the people who insist on wanting to use DHCPv6 IA_NA will
instead be fine with DHCPv6 IA_PD /64 per device instead? The device
doesn't *have* to have IA_NA on the "wan" interface, it could assign this
/64 to itself and use it for tethering and its own use, so with A=0, M=1,
O=1 DHCPv6 could give (minimum, preferrably larger like /62 or /60) /64 PD
and this would solve Lorenzos stated problem (albeit with added code).
