[ISC DHCPv6 on Freebsd] Decline Message

[Jiri Popelka]

Hope this will shed some light on your problem

The client in RHEL6 is patched to send a Decline message when duplicate 
address is detected.
I can send you my patch that makes client send Decline message when 
dhclient-script returns value indicating that DAD failed.

But the next part of this problem is how to make dhclient-script 
discover that DAD failed.
I'm not skilled with other OS besides linux so my patch fixes only 
dhclient-script for linux.
It uses the fact that 'ip addr show' shows 'tentative' flag in address 
info when DAD
is still not complete or failed.
