While testing the configuration I discovered that the isc-dhcp-server
already uses separate pid and lease files with the "-6" option. Get it
working with a second init script seemed promising and is successful.
Steps
1. Copy /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server to /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp6-server .
2. Adjust filenames (config, pid) and dhcpd option in the startup
script /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp6-server (file isc-dhcp-server.patch is
attached).
3. Enable it
systemctl enable isc-dhcp6-server.service # systemd
or
update-rc.d isc-dhcp6-server defaults # traditional "rc" startup
4. Create a fresh file /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd6.leases using
/var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases as template.
5. Create your /etc/dhcp/dhcpd6.conf
Thanks for your work which made it so easy.
Regards,
Gero
