Hi Simon,

whats about a compile option to activate a DHCP-Forwarding Code in 
dnsmasq, so dnsmasq also can act as DHCP-Forwarder?

My network structure looks like that:

>   UPSTREAM-1   UPSTREAM-2
>          |      |
>         EDGE-ROUTER
>          |      |
>  ROUTER NET1  ROUTER NET2
>      |             |
>    CLIENTS       CLIENTS

DNSMASQ runs on EDGE-Router. On Router-NET1 and Router-NET2 currently 
dhcpforwarder v0.8 is running. dhcpforwarder adds some extra fields to 
the Packet that is forwarded to DNSMASQ: network-selection + agent-id + 
dhcp-server override.

Problem: DHCPFORWARDER does not support stateful IPv6.

Currently i am running DNSMASQ and DHCPFORWARDER on every ROUTER-NET-X 
to provide DHCP and DNS. It would be nice to replace DHCPFORWARDER with 
100% functionality of DNSMASQ.

So, is it planed / possible to see this new feature in upcomming releases?
