We've decided to disable SLAAC (State-Less Address Auto-Configuration) on almost all our IPv6 networks and use DHCPv6 exclusively. This allows us to only respond with DHCPv6 to the hosts we want to get an IPv6 address instead of enabling it network-wide and crossing your fingers. The disadvantage here is that DHCPv6 client support is still limited (OS X has none for example). The argument is that IPv6 isn't mission critical yet, so we're waiting to see if vendors will come around and include DHCPv6 client support in the future.
Ray, how do you convey the default-router information with DHCPv6 only. AFAIK there is no such field in DHCPv6... Luca.
