  Information-Request message doesn't need state on server side. And
IPv6 RDNSS is good thing, but doesn't supported by Windows (yet?)...

  I want to advertise Prefixes and routes via pure IPv6 mechanisms
(rtadv), as it supported by all known IPv6-enabled systems. And DNS
needs DHCPv6 for Windows clients :(

   Great! I looks like very valuable addition to FreeBSD, but,
unfortunately, it doesn't help client Windows machines in any way :(
