Joe Sixpack might not even realize that his device even does this. I =
actually added a dhcpv6 server that can do just this. Still considering =
if it should do that automatically.

Contrary to proper networking, I frequently see double nat routers =
because they purchased a new wifi routers which is then daisy chained to =
the old one.

Or they had a non-wifi model and plugged in the port labeled (internet) =
of the new wifi router into the existing one. Which is more common.

With dhcp-pd in each, you could daisy chain a few times before it gives =
out. You know what, let's just build that because I can, it's a few =
hours of coding, but nothing too serious. Most hooks are already in =
place. I just didn't start a dhcpdv6 automatically yet.

In a nutshell. Yes, Please.
