I am wondering how people out there are using DHCPv6 to handle assigning prefixes to end users. We have a requirement for it to be a redundant server that is centrally located.
OK, so then you've already made your choice. Another solution is having the DHCPv6 servers distributed while keeping the database centrally managed. This is the route the delegated prefix will travel: central MySQL master => local MySQL slave on each RADIUS server => RADIUS based per client provisioning => local DHCPv6 server running on each access router => DHCPv6 client on customer CPE This is about as redundant as it gets if you have multiple RADIUS servers in multiple sites. No need for any cooperation between the DHCPv6 servers to be fully redundant. The only assumption is that either will the client always connect to the same access router, or the prefix must move between the access routers the client uses. Whether this is a deaggregation problem for you or not depends on how those access routers can be grouped, if at all. But that problem is really unrelated to DHCPv6 Bjørn
