While people frequently claim that auto-config is optional, there are implementations (including OS-X) that don't support anything else at this point. The basic message is that you should not assume that the host implementations will conform to what the network operator would prefer, and you need to test.
I can configure OS-X statically, so, that simply isn't true.
What is true is that there are many implementations which do not (yet) support DHCPv6. That is not the same as "don't support anything else".
Here are a couple of implementations of DHCPv6, including one that also works under Windows. I played with one of them on my Linux boxes a while back (I can't remember exactly which one), and it just worked: https://fedorahosted.org/dhcpv6/ http://klub.com.pl/dhcpv6/ Regards, Mark.
