True, although I think that's pretty much unavoidable given the design of ipv6 though (isn't ::1 always the router for the subnet)? You could always honeypot or Turing pit the other 2^16-(n) subnets if you're really paranoid about someone finding your router without a valid IPv6 address to start guessing with. The source code also seems to support using dhcp-range=::,constructor=*,ra-names,ra-stateless (etc.). I'm not sure what dropping the "1" does, exactly, not having perfect ipv6-foo skills yet. Chris
