[Dnsmasq-discuss] IPv6 routes with length between 1 and 63

So after looking into this more, I think an off-link prefix isn't the 
right way to do this. It looks like 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4191 is the standard for doing 
what I want, but dnsmasq doesn't support it, and Linux's 
accept_ra_rt_info_max_plen sysctl defaults to not accepting it. I guess 
I'll configure static routes on the clients.
