Well 6relayd and odhcpd collect hostnames of clients acquired via 
stateful DHCPv6 and export them to dnsmasq in an additional hostfiles. 
At least that seemed to work when I last tried it a few months ago. The 
only disadvantage is that there is no "ra-names" feature there.

Ideally they could coexist in a way that you could select dnsmasq and / 
or odhcpd for different interfaces on the same machine. odhcpd supports 
that but dnsmasq the last time I've looked seemed to use a single socket 
binding to all interfaces for DHCP/v6 which prevents coexistance from 
working correctly because odhcpd / 6relayd can't bind the socket after 
dnsmasq did and vice versa.

Yeah as pointed out coexistence is a matter of binding sockets. odhcpd 
will bring the functionality of dynamically enabling / disabling 
DHCPv4/v6 on interfaces without restarting the daemon and loosing state. 
This is one of the main reasons for the change and very much eases 
things for high-level protocols that do dynamic wan/lan detection.
