EXCELLENT! Thx! Glad it sounds simple to fix (although it needs to be
automated)

I am under the impression from glancing at the convos on the dnsmasq list
that the prefix no longer needs to be specified in that way,
that so long as there is an address on the interface ending in ::1 that so
long as ra is enabled, dnsmasq does "the right thing"

I am also curious if the dhcpv4 to dhcpv6 naming scheme is working? if your
machine has a name

"myname" and you can

ping myname

does

ping6 myname

work?

There also some issues involving lease duration, etc
