No, the ONLY allowable contents for the option AS IT WAS DEFINED AND
CLIENTS ARE CODED TO is one or more FOUR BYTE IPv4 addresses. It's
not the ISC "selectively presuming" to know better, it's them only
allowing you to configure what can actually be put in the option.
They CANNOT put an IPv6 address in there as it isn't a format
supported by the option and clients will simply see it as FOUR IPv4
addresses.
