Hi, Numan and Justin.
I wish you can help review patch "allow DHCPv6 respond multiple IA
Address Options".
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/663493/

For current DHCPv6 implementation, it will respond one IPv6 address
for a lswitch port in a DHCPv6 Reply message. The "one IPv6 address",
I mean, one in the same address string, like "MAC IPv4-Address
IPv6-Address-1 IPv6-Address-2 ...".

I don't think it's a good solution, since we can set multiple IA
Address Options in a DHCPv6 Reply message, and by that, we can support
multiple IPv6 addresses in the same address string for VIF port to
configure. It will give us a lflow with action=(reg0[3] =
put_dhcpv6_opts(ia_addr = OFFER_IP1, ia_addr = OFFER_IP2, ... ,
server_id = MAC, OTHER_OPTS...); next;). This can work.

In the patch mentioned above, I kept the CIDR checking, to make sure
at least one IPv6 address owned by lswitch port can reach DNS server
list in put_dhcpv6_opts action.

Thanks and have a nice day! :)
Zongkai, LI
