Suggestion for out-of-band IPv6 DHCP server

[Shawn Routhier]

There are several possible mailing lists you could use depending on what you want to do.

This list is fine for talking about the coding aspects of a feature, dhcp-workers also might
be sufficient for that purpose.

The dhcp-users list would be better if you are trying to find other folks in the DHCP community
that are interested in this type of a feature.  Potentially you could go there to gauge interest
and get support and then move to this list to do work.

Finally there is the dhcp-suggest list to put either an idea or a block of code into our ticket
mechanism for possible inclusion in a future release.

**

As we have a lot of work and limited resources two of the major questions we have for any
new functionality are how it will be used and what portion of the DHCP community might be
interested in using it.  This helps us to prioritize our work in fixing bugs, adding features and
incorporating features from the community.

regards,
Shawn
