I remember looking at it back when I was searching servers, but do not remember why I decided against it (maybe back then it did not support PD yet or did not seem very stable back then?) A python-based DHCPv6 server would be of course perfect for our use case: Easy to set-up and platform independent (though in dhcpy6d's README they curiously leave out Windows in their listing, but not that important for us, I guess). I agree it's worth a look! If I find some time today, I will have a go at it. Best regards, Martine > cheers > matthias >
