So sending RA on the server network should be best practice? I think that accepting the router address in this scenario still makes you vulnerable to mis-configured legitimate- and rogue nodes sending RA's, perhaps this also implies for the MTU. I believe that static must really mean static. As in, I configure all network information myself and don't want any influence from outside on this behaviour. What about the options "iface eth0 inet6 ra" and "iface eth0 inet6 dhcpv6"? should be nice to have as a default and be disabled altogether (meaning all options possible) if commented/removed.
