That is not possible. As been states many times before, DHCPv6 is not 
designed for configuring routing.

RA can contain multiple entries about different routes. For each (among 
other flags), there are two:
AdvOnLink - if this prefix is available on this link
AdvAutonomous - if hosts are allowed to generate IPv6 addresses in this 
prefix all by themself

Of course, second flag can only be set if the first one is set.
As I'm definetely Linux guy, I can't help you much with Windows or Cisco 
routers. But This might be interesting for you. Here is my /etc/radvd.conf 
configuration file. If you want to make this work, get some Linux box with 
radvd installed (this software is included in all major distros), copy 
this file to /etc/radvd.conf and run the radvd service.

         prefix 3ffe:8320:3:210::1:1/64 {
                 AdvOnLink on;
                 AdvAutonomous off;
                 AdvRouterAddr on;
         };
# announce this prefix as available locallby and hosts should
# generate their SAA address automatically
         prefix 3000::/64 {
                 AdvOnLink on;
                 AdvAutonomous on;
                 AdvRouterAddr on;
         };
};

I'm sure that this is possible. After some googling I've found this:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps5187/products_command_reference_chapter09186a00801d6614.html#wp1998333

(see "ipv6 nd prefix-advertisement" description)

Here is full command syntax:
ipv6 nd prefix-advertisement ipv6-prefix/prefix-length valid-lifetime 
preferred-lifetime [onlink] [autoconfig]
Try this:
ipv6 nd prefix-advertisement 3000::/64 3600 1800 onlink

Just don't use autoconfig flag. I don't have any Cisco router to verify 
this, but this should do the thick.

Hope that helps.
