It's the same approach as "ramond", with the same limitations - as per 
my follow-up email, it doesn't solve the issue with rogue DHCPv6 servers 
attached to a WiSM; you can't ACL them off by UDP port (because the WiSM 
ACLs are IPv4 only) and they hand out DNS-over-v6 servers which then "go 
away" causing massive client timeout issues.
