You haven't disclosed whether you'd run dnsmasq on your router or on a
separate host.
Depending on your network setup, it may not be possible to fully address
this by configuring dnsmasq alone.
If your dnsmasq would be running on a separate host in addition to your
router, your router would remain a source of RAs for your clients, and
quite likely the preferred one. If your router advertises a ULA prefix,
your clients are going to consider that for IPv6 address construction as
advertised.
I mean to say, always the valid and preferred lifetimes in RA(seen
through captures) is constant at 86400. It is not decrementing and it
is becoming a protocol violation.
Could you elaborate on that?
I do not see a protocol violaton here: RFC 4861 explicitly allows to
advertise valid and preferred lifetimes as 'fixed time that stays the
same in consecutive advertisements' as one of two ways, and it even
defines that fixed time variant as a default.
