If, on the other hand, the REAL desire is to have a DHCP server break the tie in the selection between several routers that advertise their presence, that wouldn't be unreasonable.
The RA contains a preference level... maybe that doesn't cut it if multiple routers are sending the same preference level, but presumably that would not happen in a well-tended network.
I point you to a fairly common Internet architecture artifact, the exchange point... dozens of routers sharing a common media for peering exchange.
And you want to use router advertisments for assigning addresses for them? Huh! Regards, Janos
