[snip]
I understand on some level why the IETF doesn't want DHCPv4 to be able to hand out IPv6 stuff, and doesn't want DHCPv6 to hand out IPv4 stuff. In the long run if you assume we transition to IPv6 and run only IPv6 for years after that it makes sense.
However, I do think a single option is needed in both, "ProtocolsAvailable". Today it could have "4" or "6", or "4,6". [snip]
DNS is "two-legged". DNS and DHCP are so intertwined from an operational perspective, I don't see how we'll get through this without DHCP becoming two-legged.
This would allow end stations to greatly optimize their behavior at all stages of deployment.
