I don't think it is, except by stopping it from advertising prefixes as 
well, (ie, remove the above line completely). The protocol doesn't 
(AFAIK) allow prefix advertisements which are not also router 
advertisements.


It _might_ be possible to do the ra-names functionality whilst leaving 
router/prefix announcement to another host, it would required code 
changes and I've not thought hard about if it would work or be desirable.


Cheers,
