[Dnsmasq-discuss] ipv6 - How to add static route with metric

Hello Daniel,

dnsmasq --help dhcp6

does not list options 3 and 6. According to Iana list [1], those are
OPTION_IA_NA and OPTION_ORO. It does not seem they are correct for IPv6.
I can see there plenty of options, but did not find way to specify IPv6
route. Are you sure the target router for the route should not use
router advertisement to propagate its routes instead? Would you
describe, what are you trying to archieve? Why should have clients have
some route instead of router for the network?

Could --ra-param help instead?

Cheers,

Petr
