Storing MACs for DHCPv6 clients is just exactly I'm looking for.
In my scenario, lease file is used to obtain current list of DHCP4/6 clients
as some status information, the latter usage of this info is:
* DHCP4/6 reservation, it's MAC-based, because client DHCP6 DUID-LLT is
dynamic by the nature, thanks for implementing this approach
* client blocking, it's MAC bases too
So, storing lease info with MAC for DHCPv6 clients (if available, that is
highly likely for direct-connected clients) is the simplest way for my case
without usage any other leasudump-like api
