DHCPv6 relay: allow configuring DHCPv6 relay servers#379
Conversation
Add a new interface config attribute to allow configuring one or more DHCPv6 server IP addresses to relay the DHCPv6 request to. If the DHCPv6 server is behind another router, forwarding the request to ff05::1:3 will not work, unless multicast routing has been set up. As multicast routing is extremely difficult to set up correctly, and specifying an IP address to forward the request to is very common in other DHCP relay agents, odhcpd should support this.

If one or more DHCPv6 relay servers are configured for the interface we receive the DHCPv6 Solicit Message on, forward it to those servers. Signed-off-by: Stijn Tintel <stijn@linux-ipv6.be>
