Joe Sixpack might not even realize that his device even does this. I actually added a dhcpv6 server that can do just 
this. Still considering if it should do that automatically.

Contrary to proper networking, I frequently see double nat routers because they purchased a new wifi routers which is 
then daisy chained to the old one.

Or they had a non-wifi model and plugged in the port labeled (internet) of the new wifi router into the existing one. 
Which is more common.

With dhcp-pd in each, you could daisy chain a few times before it gives out. You know what, let's just build that 
because I can, it's a few hours of coding, but nothing too serious. Most hooks are already in place. I just didn't 
start a dhcpdv6 automatically yet.

In a nutshell. Yes, Please.
