I removed this route, and it did not reappear when i restarted the DHCP6 server. It also did not affect the situation, i still get no leases.

Well, it seems that the packets are all being sent to my gateway, not internode.

I tried, but the moment i turned off dhcp6c, i lost ipv6 connectivity, so no go sadly. 

Well, now i have a server that listens properly, but when my client sends it solicits, it dosen't pick them up at all. might be time to start playing with wireshark and tcpdump I guess.
