Excellent, Jim!

Looking forward to 2.1.

I suppose the other thing I'll then be thinking about is how 
end-users are assigned IPv6 address information.

Typical deployments have tended to use SLAAC with DHCPv4 for 
the DNS. I've previously done SLAAC with DHCPv6 for DNS.

addition to SLAAC.

Would you be able to confirm whether 2.1 or later will 
support DNS via DHCPv6 as well, as well as DHCP-PD?

I suppose, for now, the default gateway will need to be 
assigned via SLAAC, the one thing about DHCPv6 I still don't 
find amusing.

Cheers,

Mark.
