You didn't specify which Sound Devices mixer; some of them can do extensive routing.
Never heard of the Sennheiser C2; is that a European lav/trans/rec kit?
The H6 has four (4) XLR inputs and a stereo mini-pin input. So yes, you can record up to six signals on separate tracks. How you get the supplied lav into the mixer and/or recorder will depend upon what type of tail it has; most lavs have connectors for specific transmitter packs. There are a number of "budget" lavs that have mini-pin or XLR-3M or other type of connectors, so you may need an adapter. How you route will depend upon your mixer. I would think to send a reference mix to the camera from the H6 rather than the SD if you have limited routing possibilities.

Thanks for the heads-up and the comment on the connectors was good. The full setup is:
- MKH416
- C2 (Sennheiser lavs)
- SD 2 input mixer
- Zoom H5
- Boom, shockmount, sound bag, XLRs, cans etc...
- Canon C500 fully loaded.
What we'll do is a bit like playing twister with XLRs but we're doing this:
- MKH 416 into mixer. Mixer to both C500 and Zoom
- Lav to Zoom. The client will supply me with a different lav but I have an adaptor now - thanks for the heads-up on that.
I've done a few corporate and narrative sound gigs. Apparently, some people think I'm OK at it but I'm unsure. I can still hear things that I don't want although other people can't seem to hear them.
Also, can you recommend some decent XLRs? What's the difference for you between one XLR and another.
