Anything useful here which could go in a PR or two on github?

I've added multihome to luci:

The --local param seems to be in there already.

How does pppoe-wan get its IP?
It is retrieved by odhcp6c.

You may not be able to do much about that, but you can hint which IPv6 an interface gets using the assignment length, hint and prefix settings.


I don't use openvpn, but perhaps it has something like this? I guess it would try to pick a source IP with the 'lowest' IPv6 from an available /64?
It isn't the lowest address. In my case it is all the time the ipv6 address from br-guest1, even if I exchange the ip6hint value between the three local interfaces.


I could solve the problem. First I did modify /etc/init.d/openvpn by adding an interface trigger which does restart openvpn with parameter '--local <IPV6 from wan>'. Second, I did use the simple way by adding 'option multihome 1' to the openvpn config file.

I get from my provider two prefixes (a 56 and 64 bit). The wan interface gets assigned a random address from the 64 bit prefix. I'm using 3 local interfaces that have been assigned a 64-bit prefix derived from the 56-bit prefix. This are the ipv6 global addresses on my interfaces:
