[Dnsmasq-discuss] DHCPv6 default port

[Shixiong Shang]

I think dnsmasq process is bound to the right port, but it is not listening on udp6 part.

However, the dnsmasq never saw the DHCPv6 packets coming in afterwards. Based on tcpdump, I could see DHCPv6 packets hit dnsmasq binding interface, but dnsmasq log didn't report anything.
