This is exactly my case, my ISP is o2. >> Dnsmasq doesn't implement RECONFIGURE. It probably should.

I know that it's against RFC but some routers (like the fritzbox I'm using, very popular choice in Germany) actually send RECONFIGURE without authentication. This is BTW the reason for introduction of "noauthrequired" config option in dhcpcd ;-) > My recommendation to the reporter: > - Don't use stateful DHCPv6 in Germany, that does not work well.

As you correctly recognized, the reason for usage of stateful DHCPv6 was to get correct dynamic name resolution for IPv6. My IPv4 setup utilizes static addresses, I didn't used DHCPv4 for hosts acting as servers. I also see the combination of DHCPv4 with SLAAC as possible workaround, I've to try it. My problem with this setup is the lack of fallback address in networkd DHCP client: If DHCPv4 fails due to any reason the host get some "weird" address. Static IPv4 setup is free from this drawback and wanted to keep it as is and complement it with IPv6 solution...
