Oops! There may be a problem here with radvd!.
I have difficulty in understanding why one would define multiple IPv6
(or even IPv4) subnetworks on a single interface. Well, I guess the
radvd authors did also: the AdvManagedFlag on/off applies to the entire
interface and no a specific network.
I am verifying this but there is a chance that dsnmasq could support
both for different subnetworks.
I guess that dnsmasq could be used to support one and radvd used to
support the other but ???
I believe this may need more discussion from others. I would like to
have someone other than the two of us chime in on this.
