Thanks for the replies! I hesitantly updated to dnsmasq-2.68 since I first wanted to stick to the version provided with Debian wheezy. The quiet-options really reduce the amount of syslog messages except for: "dnsmasq-dhcp[23663]: no address range available for DHCPv6 request via eth5"

Concerning the link-local addresses it actually looks like this is the default when advertising gateways in local networks. Unfortunately other software to proxy/relay dhcpv6 and ra can not handle it properly. It is basically possible to also advertise the routers global address (see here: http://www.macfreek.nl/memory/Non-Local_IPv6_Router_Advertisement and the RFC here: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6275#section-7.2 ). Is this option also available in dnsmasq? In radvd it is called "AdvRouterAddr on;".

Hello,
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
We are using this great piece of software so far as DNS cacher but want to implement it also as IPv6 server by now. DHCPv4 is handled by another software at the moment (isc-dhcp-server) but we think the dnsmasq 2.62-3 is quite suitable for our need of an DHCPv6- and RA-server.

I activated the features in dnsmasq.conf which I think should set-up a working DHCPv6/RA-Server (see compressed config file below). From then on the server distributed ipv6-addresses from the correct range. Unfortunately some error occured: As wanted it also distributed Gateway and DNS-server but it used the LINK-LOCAL v6 address of the corresponding interface instead of the Global configured address (2010:7d0:904:1202::1). Is this a bug or misconfiguration?
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Another independent question: With this configuration dnsmasq starts to be pretty noisy in the syslog. Is there any option to reduce the verbosity once the system works?
</div>
<div>
</div>
</blockquote> v2.68 includes 'quiet-dhcp, quiet-dhcp6 & quiet-ra' options which significantly help the syslog noise.
<br />
<br /> I think it's correct behaviour to advertise the link-local address.
<br />
<br /> Hope that helps.
