You should be able to configure DHCPv6 in dnsmasq to handle larger 
prefixes. You can't do SLAAC address allocation that way, because it 
depends on a 64-bit prefix and a 64-bit EUI-64 id, but DHCP works.

Something like

dhcp-range=<start-address>,<end-address>,92

The prefix length MUST match the prefix length configured in the local 
inerface.


Cheers,

Simon.
