<p>Hi All,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I've just noticed some strange/different behaviour with regard to
dhcpv6 address allocation. I've a couple of 'internal' machines
that I'd like to have fixed ip addresses. To that end, and it
used to work I've got lines similar to:
dhcp-host=E0:3F:49:A1:D4:AA,192.168.219.4,[::0:4],Kermit - In
theory kermit gets 192.168.219.4 and the ipv6 address 'constructed
prefix::0:4'</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Instead, these lines appear to be partially ignored with the host
getting the usual pseudo random address constructed from the ipv6
prefix/range. An nslookup pointing to dnsmasq does return the
'0:4' address, unfortunately that's not the address handed out by
dhcp. I'm also seeing ' abandoning lease to e0:3f:49:a1:d4:aa of
192.168.219.4' type warnings which is odd. Also the entry in the
leases database looks odd to me: 1461971298 e0:3f:49:a1:d4:aa
192.168.219.4 Kermit
01:52:41:53:20:e0:3f:49:a1:d4:aa:00:00:09:00:00:00 - that almost
looks like an ipv6 type entry.</p>
