Can we get this or another IPv6 prefix delegation size hint patch integrated into dhclient?  Several other DHCP clients support it already.

Many ISPs only supply /56 or other non-/64 address ranges if the hint is sent, otherwise they default to /64.

The patch basically makes the #define'd length from this patch a run-time option:

I'd be willing to apply (or even re-write the patch to be a configuration file option) if given ability to submit a git pull request to the project.

Thanks,
