shoot me.

sorry Glen, if i'd known this sooner, i could have said "known bug".

we have a problem when host records are not using a fixed-address
statement (in dhcpv6 only), the host's contents aren't executed.
conversely, when a host record does have a fixed-address statement,
the subnet (and shared and etc) contents aren't executed.

so the ddns-hostname configured here isn't getting loaded, assuming
the host record matches...unless you add a fixed-address...in which
case ddns updates aren't done.  lose/lose.  :(

i've comitted a fix for 4.1.1-next (b3 or rc1, not sure yet if the
consensus is the changes are small enough to go to rc).  i'm reworking
the fix for 4.0.2-next still.

4.1.1-next should be out RSN.
