I'm not getting exactly what you are saying.
When you say "use dhcp to drive clients to the desired exit", which exit do
are you referring to? The local subnet exit, AKA the local exit router?
Or, are you referring to an enterprise level exit?
But, I agree there are several problems with DHCPv6 and its parity with
DHCPv4, and this is a serious barrier to enterprise adoption of IPv6. My
favored to harp on is that they use different primary keys to identify a
host, DHCPv4 uses MAC address and DHCPv6 uses DUID. I understand why, but
it is still an operational nightmare.
Thanks.
