Should this read DHCpv6 here?

[Bill-Sommerfeld]

Indeed it should! Fixed.

Some issues I had bookmarked, as I've been trying to properly run Dual-stack since I started using illumos ... that (might be) relevant for proper IPv6 support.

• https://www.illumos.org/issues/3358 IPv6 broken under bhyve unless allow_ip_spoofing is set. TritonDataCenter/smartos-live#930 mac and ip spoof protection causes issues with IPv6 traffic in various combinations (from memory: mac protection causes issues with SLAAC and addresses that do not embed the MAC-Addr, ip spoofing blocks IPv6 addresses configured via SLAAC and DHCPv6)
• https://www.illumos.org/issues/7494 somewhere gethostbyaddr_r swallows IPv6 addresses, not sure if this is still an issue. I can't get rm's test case to compile
• https://www.illumos.org/issues/4033 prefix delegation, already mentioned but there is an old issue for that too
• https://www.illumos.org/issues/2338 RDNSS support, also already mentioned but we also have an old issue for that

Thanks for the list! I'll add them (and a few more!) in a later revision when I flesh it out further (right now I mainly want to claim an IPD number)

Hi Bill, I've pulled this in for now so you can claim the number and related. We'll follow up to simplify iteration for you on this.
