Finally decided to sign up and talk after using Merlin for my AC3200 for the last 6 months. (side-note: the latest alpha is working perfectly for me without a problem or hiccup.)
Here's my conundrum: I'm setting up IPv6 in my home net, and I've looked at many different scenarios of implementation. The easiest route seems to be to leverage Merlin's dnsmasq setup to do everything I want to with the network. I understand the configuration add / overwrite setup for dnsmasq on Merlin, but what I'm having issues with is the DHCPv6 Client that's in use.
I need to leverage that configuration to specifically request an IA-PD /60 so that my ISP will assign me a /60 block for use within my internal net as they only hand out /64 unless the client requests a /60 for internal subnetting. I've looked here, and even went grovelling to the almighty Google, to no avail that my meager brain could comprehend. So I'm asking here:
How do I setup Merlin's DHCPv6 Client to request an IA-PD /60 from my ISP when it boots?
On my Pi3 setup, the following is working with wide-dhcpv6-client when the pi is plugged directly into my modem:
But I don't see where / how to do something like this with Merlin's DHCPv6 client.
Thank you for any assistance that can be given on this.
