I did just that a couple of years ago to test prefix delegation. I connected a 
second router behind my primary router and IIRC it got a /61 out of the /56 
assigned to me. Of that /61, one /64 was routed to the local LAN of the second 
router.  I presume the process allows for cascading routers until the /56 is 
exhausted, but I did not explore that. I was satisfied that I demonstrated 
prefix delegation worked.


Cheers, Michiel
