RE: [dhcwg] Router option, in DHCPv6

Thanks for your responses. Sorry for the delay in my response.

I have a question :
Take a case of load balancing, where two routers present and 
 we want to manage/configure few set of hosts (address range)
 to use one router and others to use a different one (two 
 paths), how do we achieve this using RAs ?

Thanks,
Anil
