I, too, am interested in knowing and I guess it's time I > start learning these IPv6 stuff. Is there a reason you need to control the addresses used by your clients=20 (other than the prefix)? I set up IPv6 on my LAN and while I have DHCPd=20 running on the router for IPv4 addresses rtadvd is all I needed for IPv6.=20 Clients assign themselves addresses based on the network prefix they=20 learn from route solicitation and their own MAC address. That's supposed=20 to be one of the "reduced administration" benefits of the new=20 protocol. :) JN
