dhcpcd-discuss

I seem to be seeing only one DELEGATED6 call to my updatered script. Should I see such a call for each prefix dhcpcd delegated to an interface (in my case, to eth0, eth2 and eth3)?

I guess they don't like something I save, recover and dynamically include in the dhcpcd.conf; removing those files and starting from scratch seems to get it working again. Query? Would it be reasonable to have dhcpcd reject the /64 offer when it explicitly requested a /60? (Instead of taking it, assigning it to the first interface--eth3 in my case--and then failing to assign anything to the other IFs?) Of course, I have to verify that that is really what happens.
