Sounds like you want the IETF to simulate being a WISP.  I suggest
that you write down the complete plan and submit it to Jim Martin
[e-mail] so the noc team can plan for it.  Jim will let you
know if you need to ask elsewhere.  I can see several ways to do
this each with its own tradeoffs and levels of noc support and
preparation.

e.g.

>From a Linux/BSD box and switch you supply w/ /44 from the noc, a
DHCPv6 server and the DHCPv6 server just updating the routing table
on the host.  The noc just supplies a port for the upstream connection
and the address block.  Through to it being supported on all the
ssids.
