IPv6 and option 18

[Paolo Prandini]

I would like to add that I found the problem.
The code in server/dhcpv6.c ( I am referring to 4.2.0 ) is broken in
regards to treatment of option 18 ( interface-id).
I wrote a fix, if anyone is interested I can release it on the list,
it is about 20 lines of code.
