[Dnsmasq-discuss] dnsmasq/dhcpd6 coexistance

I am running some tests.  My testing needs to involve using both 
radvd/dnsmasq and radvd/named/dhcpd/dhpd6 to provide ip6 routing, dhcp, 
dhcp6, and name services for networks running both ip4 and ip6 on the 
same network.

So far, I had been separating the two in time:  first, radvd,dnsmasq and 
the later, radvd/named/dhcpd/dhcpd6.  Then it occurred to me that I 
might be able to run them at the same time ... naturally, serving 
different networks and interfaces but on the same system.

OK, named and dnsmasq can co-exist.  That is, run at the same time and 
repond to the network they are servicing.

And dhcpd and dnsmasq can co-exist.  netstat -tunal shows that 
0.0.0.0:67 and 0.0.0.0:68 are being listened to.

But dchpd6 and dnsmasq cannot.  When either is started, netstat -tunal 
shows that :::546 and :::547 are being listened to similar to 67/68 but 
neither one can tolerate being stated after to other one has started.

In dnsmasq.conf I am using the listen-address= for both ip4 and ip6.

Comments?
