support for reconfigure for prefix delegation?

Hi,

my setup is as follows: a Fritz!Box 7490 with recent firmware as my delegating IPv6 router for PD. On the client side on a requesting router for PD, I'm using dhcpcd 6.7.1 on Raspbian Jessie. The requesting router is asking for a single /64 PD for its own downstream interface, which it gets without any hassle.

Now, when the Fritz!Box gets a new prefix block (I'm getting /56's), then it sends a unicast reconfigure DHCPv6 message to my requesting RasPi router. However, as I see from my Wireshark trace, dhcpcd does not seem to react to the reconfigure message. Instead, it waits for T1/renew to pass, then gets its renew attempt denied, and starts over with fresh soliciting.

Can I configure dhcpcd to accept reconfigure messages from its DHCPv6 server? I could not find any configuration option, but then I might have missed it. If reconfigures are supported, what configuration do I need?

With best regards,
Harald
