Description

Maintainer: @cahorn & @feckert
Environment: (ipq806x/generic, Netgear X4S R7800, 23.05.4)

Description:
dynv6 allows to update ipv6 prefix only of the zone, so the router can do records of other network devices by keeping the suffix part of the AAAA record.
Right now there is no way of doing it via ddns-scripts, or at least not in gui that I could find.

Example from https://dynv6.com/docs/apis

Research direction

Start by reading the ddns-scripts handling for DynV6 and checking how its GUI options map to the DynV6 update API. Verify the ipv6preffix-only request described in the issue, then confirm that the option is exposed and preserves the AAAA record suffix as intended.
