Receiving an RA confirming a prefix should be OK too. Do we have to 
handle this (manual addresses) as a specific case? I was thinking of 
just including text in the document specifying adding an entry into the 
DNA address table for this manually assigned address along with the 
associated prefix and the router from which we heard the prefix. 
Everything else should work fine after this.

Thanks
