dhcpv6 server and dhclient IA_PD support

[Patrik Lahti]

I haven't tried this, but AFAICT from the code, dhclient will provide 
$ip6_prefix to the dhclient-script when it has received a delegated 
prefix. All you'd have to do is implement a suitable script which 
creates/updates a rtadvd.conf and re/starts/stops rtadvd accordingly...
