No.  With 6rd you DROP the top 10 bits and you give every customer
a /56. And you can repeat the exercise 4 times within a /32.

/etc/dhcpd.conf:
subnet 100.64.0.0 netmask 255.240.0.0 {
	range 100.64.0.2 100.64.255.254;
	router 100.64.0.1;
	option 6rd 10 34 2001:DB8:: 2001:DB8::1;
}
subnet 100.64.0.0 netmask 255.240.0.0 {
	range 100.64.0.2 100.64.255.254;
	router 100.64.0.1;
	option 6rd 10 34 2001:DB8:4000: 2001:DB8:4000:1;
}
subnet 100.64.0.0 netmask 255.240.0.0 {
	range 100.64.0.2 100.64.255.254;
	router 100.64.0.1;
	option 6rd 10 34 2001:DB8:8000: 2001:DB8:8000:1;
}
subnet 100.64.0.0 netmask 255.240.0.0 {
	range 100.64.0.2 100.64.255.254;
	router 100.64.0.1;
	option 6rd 10 34 2001:DB8:c000: 2001:DB8:C000:1;
}
