I would say yes in theory, if

- the CPE acts as a DHCPv6 relay agent for A and B (see RFC3315)
- The DHCPv6 server at the ISP can deal with a relay agent

Of course, the CPE, A and B must all be DHCPv6 clients. It may be
necessary to deal with routing issues when the CPE acts as relay agent
(it must "know" how to get the relayed DHCPv6 messages to the DHCPv6
server).

I'm curious: why would you want to leave the configuration of prefixes
for A & B in the hands of the ISP rather than in the hands of the
customer (e.g. by letting the CPE act as a DHCPv6 server)?
