Five things? Really? My DHCP server hands out the following things to its clients: Default Route DNS Servers Log host Domain Name (or, our case, the sub-domain for the office) NIS Domain NIS Servers NTP Server WINS Servers SMTP Server POP Server NNTP Server Domain suffix search orders. All these useful and handy things that my Windows, Unix (Irix and Solaris), Linux, and FreeBSD clients all need some portion of, in one place where I configure and control it.
Super, great and wonderful. Keep doing so. But I think Iljitsch's point is that I shouldn't have to run DHCPv6 when I can get everything I need from SLAAC. In other words, what is wrong with having two complimentary pieces: Router: Sends out RAs, gets hosts a default gateway ... and maybe a prefix ... and maybe a DNS server DHCPv6: Hands out other information (DNS server) and maybe addresses upon request from host
Having to deal with configuration and control of this in multiple places is only going to make the sysadmins of the world hate you.
Sorry, are your routers not getting any sort of configuration now? If it is a Cisco box once you give that Ethernet interface an address it will send out RAs by default, no extra work. In fact, less work - you don't need to configure your DHCPv6 server with the default gateway addresses of every subnet.
