Watching the DHC WG presentation, the lack of advice for DHCP relay agent
source addresses.  My understanding is that the relay agent, despite having
two interfaces, managed to pick the interface which was pointing at the
clients, which might not actually be routable by the DHCPv6 server.

Did I understand this correctly?

I am still surprised that we do not do better with Relay Agents and PD
assignments.   My understanding is that current relay agents do deep
inspection of the DHCP responses to learn what prefix to route to which
end-point.  Those installed routes, ideally, get installed into the IGP by
the router in which the relay agent is installed.
