[SRX] How can a Win 7 client obtain the IPv6 default gateway from a SRX device that is running DHCPv6?

The IPv6 client needs to obtain the default gateway via the server with RA enabled. For example:

system {
    services {
        dhcp-local-server {
            dhcpv6 {
                overrides {
                    interface-client-limit 100;
                }
                group my-group {
                    interface fe-0/0/3.0;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
interfaces {
    fe-0/0/3 {
        unit 0 {
            family inet {
                address 192.168.3.1/24;
            }
            family inet6 {
                address 2001:0200::1/64;
            }
        }
    }
}
protocols {
    router-advertisement {
        interface fe-0/0/3.0 {
            managed-configuration;
            other-stateful-configuration;
            default-lifetime 3600;
            prefix 2001:200::/64 {
                no-autonomous;
            }
            prefix ::/0 {
                no-autonomous;
            }
        }
    }
}
access {
    address-assignment {
        pool 1 {
            family inet6 {
                prefix 2001:200::/64;
                range 1 {
                    low 2001:200::10/128;
                    high 2001:200::20/128;
                }
                dhcp-attributes {
                    dns-server {
                        2001::253;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Notice that the IPv6 default gateway is not 2001:200::1, but the link address is fe80::224:dcff:fe16:7403%17. Currently, as per RF C4861, the DHCPv6 client can obtain the default gateway only from the local address on the DHCPv6 server.
