Great!

So patch was already tested that is working and it is useful.

> Recently I haven’t required it but I am not sure if this is because qnap have improved something OR simply because I don’t reboot the boxes anywhere near as often.  I’ll see if I can provoke the problem over the next few days but I am quite busy at the moment.  Fixing the issue when the problem arises is a real pain in the arse involving qnap shutdown, dnsmasq shutdown, edit leasefile & remove the rogue leases, restart dnsmasq, restart qnap.

I understand it, assigning IPv6 address based on MAC address is in
dnsmasq currently unusable and removing lease file with dnsmasq restart
is the only workaround which I know.

I think that patch in current form is enough.
