My ISP delegates me a /56 prefix and I successfully used that with
Now, this prefix delegation is dynamic and I'd still like to have my hosts in DNS, so I can find them from "outside". So, it would be very nice to use the prefix with dhcpv6 instead of slaac, and let the dhcp6 server do dynamic DNS updates. Looking into this, I found dhcpy6d which allows passing a dynamic prefix on the commandline, therefore I guess I could come up with a script parsing the current prefix from some
Is there a better way to do what I want?
Alternatively, I'm running a samba DC and windows clients already update DNS, but FreeBSD clients (with samba/winbind) don't, is it possible to have them update DNS as well, in which case SLAAC would do for me?

to assign /64 prefixes to my network interfaces on the router. These are used with rtadvd
to provide the hosts with SLAAC, so far so good.Now, this prefix delegation is dynamic and I'd still like to have my hosts in DNS, so I can find them from "outside".
