Hello, I'm trying to prepare an ISP for providing DHCP-PD to end users. In the initial phase, this will probably require a ppp link. It would be very helpful if we could point to a Linux distribution working out of the box, and I think Debian Squeeze is going to be close. A very useful simplification for the end users would be sample dhcp6c up/down scripts in /etc/ppp/ipv6-{up,down}.d/ The default /etc/ppp/ipv6-up.d/dhcpv6 script should request a PD when the IPv6 link comes up using a default configuration which might do nothing with the prefix (or split it on all other interfaces?). The default /etc/ppp/ipv6-down.d/dhcpv6 script could release the prefix when the link goes down. Or maybe not? It would not be able to inform the server of this as the link is already down, so I guess releasing is useless. It would be better to keep using the delegated prefix, and to renew the lease as soon as the link comes up again. But that would require a fix for bug #561949 first, as it's currently impossible to renew a lease on an interface which has been deleted and recreated. What do you think? Could we have DHCP-PD just automagically working?
