Can you elaborate on the origin of this patch? Was it written by you?
Yes, this patch was written by me, and I have sent it for inclusion to
the "upstream" ISC "dhcp-hackers" mailinglist but unfortunately without
any feedback yet.
As explained in the RFC (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3527) and
mentioned in my commit message, this (RFC3537) link selection sub-option
is a way to tell the DHCP server how to reach the relay agent, and at
the same time select the IP address range from another subnet. This is
necessary when both are on different subnets and the DHCP server does
not know how to reach the relay agent just based on the DCHP subnet. In
our case this happens in a mesh network.
