AFAIU, if dnsmasq is providing the IPv4 addresses (via DHCP) and linking
them to names (via DNS), i don't see any reason it couldn't work with
IPv6, too. Perhaps you need some knob somewhere to enable AAAA records
or something, Perhaps dnsmasq has to dole out v6 addresses via DHCPv6
to be able to pull that off.
