I'd really, really, really like to have DHCP6 on the Mac. Autoconfig is not sufficient for this task unless there is some kind of trick you can do to make the eui-64 come out the same for both interfaces (don't think so).
Don't know if Mac's can do bridging, but under Linux, all you'd need to do would be create bridge instance, assign the two or more interfaces to the bridge, and have DHCPv6 use the bridge virtual interface.
The problem is that there is no DHCPv6 for the Mac (well, I suppose I could try building it by hand and see how far I get). I'm pretty sure that Macs aren't set up to do a layer 2 bridge group between their interfaces, and moreover I think this is risky behavior in terms of creating a loop if something goes wrong on the laptop even if the host OS supports it. ---rob
