I agree that there are many possible ways to make this work. That's one of them. My only point was, if DHCPv6 relay will become a MUST, then some other RFC needs to be written to explain how this will be done in an interoperable way, automatically, so that we aren't going to have to rely on manual configurations in these SOHO settings.
