Radvd does not really make a node a router either. It just sends out the RA's on an interface to make other systems on that link believe it is a router. In order to make a node a real router you need to configure the routing tables on the node. A simple way of doing this is to use a static default route on the node pointing to an uplink router (e.g. a Cisco router) and have a static route on the Cisco pointing to the node for the prefix advertised by radvd. This obviously assumes your HA is a node in a bigger IPv6 network and most examples I have seen on this list are isolated with only a combined HA/router. But you need to keep the routing in mind when you grow your net.
If you want more fun you can install the routing package quagga that comes with most Linux distros.
