This isn't my network so I don't have any input into the matter. This
is the OVH configuration for their dedicated servers, at least in my
product range.

Does adding the interface route not put the default gateway on-link
though ?

If I am to change my prefix length to /56 this means that anyone else in
that /56 who is configured with a prefix length of 64 will be routing to
me and I will be swicthing to them.... This could cause problems.

Agreed, I had no intention of fixing the problem this way.
