BTW, why are you using dhcp6 for addresses? That's normally not necessary. The router advertises the local network and the computers combine that with their MAC address and/or random number to create a valid IPv6 address. I don't know about Koenraad's situation, but using dhcpv6 is good for allocating static addresses that aren't tied to the NIC.
Of course, static configuration will also do that, without going to the trouble of setting up a dhcp6 server.
Setting up a dhcpx server is no trouble, especially if you already have a -4 ditto :-) Managing static allocations is just a lot easier when done from a central place rather than on each individual box.
A dhcp6 server is useful for setting up other things, such as pointing to servers for DNS, NTP etc.
