Prefix Delegation

Hello,

I started playing with my residential IPv6 on my Linux router last
weekend and dhcpcd has been a great help.  I have a few questions,
though.

1) I was fiddling with the options and noticed that IA_PD and IA_NA
can't be mixed.  Is this a design limitation in DHCPv6 or just in
dhcpcd?  I noticed this while brainstorming my internal design, but I
don't think I actually need it (maybe that's why it's not there).

2) When using IA_PD, is it possible to change the address suffix dhcpcd
assigns with the PD?  Right now it looks like it uses EUI-64, but I
wouldn't mind changing it to ::1.  I'm also unable to get it to use
privacy extensions which would also be useful (Does that require RAs
or something else I'm missing?).

Thanks,
Brian


PS- roy.marples.name seems to be unavailable over IPv6 as of last
night-ish.  I get a TCP handshake but nothing further.
