Allocating fixed IPv6 addresses to hosts with multiple NICs

[John.Gibbins at csiro.au]

Is anyone handing out fixed IPv6 addresses with ISC DHCP?

With IPv4 we hand out IP addresses based on MAC addresses ("hardware Ethernet" and "fixed-address" config entries).
With IPv6 we hand out IP addresses based on DUID ("host-identifier option dhcp6.client-id" and "fixed-address6" config entries).

Our problem is that the DUID is system specific and not NIC specific.  To uniquely specify a NIC, I need to specify both the DUID and the IAID, but I can't find any way of specifying an IAID.  This effectively makes DHCPv6 useless for us on systems with multiple NICs.

Is there a way of handing out different predefined IPv6 addresses to for different NICs on a host?

I'm hoping that I've missed something (obvious or otherwise).  If not, I'll need to investigate alternate implementations.

TIA
