Haven't had the chance to look at that one. Will check it out.

It had better be, as IOS 12.2 SRE only supports SLAAC + DHCPv6-PD. Most 
of the Cisco documentation I've seen, says that is their beautiful 
layout. No more proxyarp/nd. Instead, assign a /64 to each subinterface, 
perform SLAAC, then hand out prefixes via DHCPv6-PD if someone needs a 
prefix.

Yeah, I could see the forwarding code supporting it. Cisco documentation 
stated proxynd with rbe/unnumbered vlans isn't what they support. How 
did your tests go mirroring the v4 method using dhcp forwarding with the 
v6 method?
