Unfortunately not. I know of no vendor who have implemented VRRPv6
yet. As far as I can see, best (only) thing you can do now is use
Router Advertisements with very short timers to announce default
routes to your hosts. You can limit RAs to just providing default,
not advertising stateless autoconfig capability if you don't want your
servers to do that.

Let's see what other folks here come up with... it's certainly an
interesting question.


Best regards,
Daniel
