Shouldn't we see the same problem with rogue DHCP servers in v4?
That's what has always confused me. Part of the reason we may not is that the rogue comes on-line at a time when nobody is doing DHCPDISCOVER and then goes off-line. OTOH, if the rogue sends out just one RA, other machines will configure the address and might even add a candidate route immediately, regardless of whether they already have a v6 address. However, I have been in other situations where I see RAs in IPv6, but I don't have rogue DHCP issues in v4 on a particular net. (At the same time, we do see a bunch of rogue DHCP servers on our wireless nets at Berkeley.) michael
