	Hello,

I have recently switched from 6to4 to native/DHCPv6-PD (using
wide-dhcpv6-client from Debian). Unfortunately, there does not seem to
be any "replacement" for the Base6to4Interface directive when using
prefix delegation.

It would be really nice if there was an option to get prefixes to be
advertised straight from /proc/net/if_inet6 at least on a per interface
basis, for instance:

# /etc/radvd.conf
interface eth0
{
        AdvSendAdvert on;
        MaxRtrAdvInterval 30;

        autoprefix ::/64
        {
                AdvOnLink on;
                AdvAutonomous on;
        };
};

So radvd could automatically instantiate an implicit prefix for each
address assigned to eth0 (expect the link-local, of course).

Regards,

Hi,

I've implemented 90% of this feature.  The missing 10% is that it only
supports one automatically chosen address.

I've committed attached patch to CVS HEAD.
