That would be quite the unusual setup, and even so would require that I obtain said /56 from elsewhere (such as via a tunnel) to then delegate back to myself...

I am confident this is not the case since I configured these routers from scratch.

It is unlikely that it is on the Dishy, as the latency to the DHCPv6 servers IP address, as well as the first IP hop, indicates the usual Ground->Space->Ground latency I'd expect.

Yes, this is the most likely place they are running this, likely the PoP you are being routed through.

The DHCPv6 server address is a Starlink IPv6 address, the same one as my default gateway (`2406:2d40:xxx:xxx::1`). The /56 I am being allocated is also from the same /32 as this DHCPv6 server, with the /32 being 2406:2d40::/32, which you'll note is allocated to Starlink.
