Following up on Bernie's comments about DHCPv6 for non-address
configuration information, take a look at RFC 3736, "stateless DHCP
Service for IPv6" (ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc3736.txt) for
a summary of the minimal implementation and deployment needed for
DHCPv6 as a complement to SLAAC.
And, as David points out, it's perfectly feasible to colocate a
DHCPv6 server with a router. IOS includes a DHCPv6 server, currently
providing Information Request (RFC 3736) and Prefix Delegation (RFC
3633) services. I was involved with the implementation of the
Information Request service; trust me, it's *quite* simple.
