[Kea-users] Interface management

[Jaco Kroon]

Hi,

Would also be useful for LNS purposes, but kea would first need the 
ability to bind ppp interfaces reliably (when I tried this it tended to 
crash).

I've implemented a dhcpv6proxy module for pppd (upstreamed) to work 
around this.

Kind regards,
Jaco
