Prevent IPV6 on selected devices?

I'm running Shibby tomato Tomato Firmware 1.28.0000 MIPSR2-097 K26 USB AIO on a linksys e4200.  I've followed the instructions on the previous posts and have it working with IPV6.  (Thanks everyone!)  Now I have a new issue.   I use Opendns for content filtering.   I know Opendns doesn't yet support content filtering on IPv6.   My question, does anyone know how I can configure my router so that I can prevent certain devices from obtaining an IPV6 IP address or force selected devices to use IPV4 first?   I'm trying to force my kids devices back to IPV4 to get the content filtering from OpenDNS....until IPV6 filtering becomes available.

 

I realize I could go to their individual PC's and deactivate IPV6 locally....but where's the challenge in that?  Thanks in advance for any ideas.

You could use the Windows fix it option:

It will set the PC to Prefer IPv4 over IPv6
