But my question was not about IPv6. How do IPv4 routers operate in such a situation? exchange design 101.
Thanks :-) I was being a bit Socratic. In the IPv4 world, routers in such complex environments are generally manually configured. In other situations they might use a routing protocol. Turning off RA in a similar environment with IPv6 is no loss over IPv6. My point (several messages ago,now) was in regard to DHCP information being used to send preferred route information; seems to me that in a situation where RA preference levels are not cutting it, a DHCP server sending discrimination information is probably not going to cut it either.
