You need a dhcp-range statement to enable the DHCPv6 server (or the 
DHCPv4 server). Even if you don't want to do dynamic address allocation, 
you need to use dhcp-range to declare the subnet and tell dnsmasq to use 
it for static address allocation only, using the "static" keyword.

Yes, that's allowed.
