Subject: Request: support for more than one IA_PD prefix; prefix length hints
Date: Thu, 07 Jun 2012 21:00:32 -0700
To: dhcp-suggest@isc.org
From: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@zytor.com>

It would be very nice to add support in dhclient for: a. requesting more than one IA_PD prefix; a router may want to request one for each downstream interface (as it seems consumer ISPs at least are planning to hand out /64's); b. sending a prefix length hint (an IA_PREFIX option with a prefix length but all other information zero) to the server to hint at the prefix length desired. -hpa

However you cannot set it individually per interface. One value for all. Regards, Thomas Markwalder ISC Softare Engineering > -hpa >
