Dual stack DHCP server

As far as I know, no. I could not find such a guide.
It was unclear for us what part of the configuration can be shared between the two servers.
Some IPv4 statements do not cause errros on the IPv6 server, but most IPv6 statements are rejected by the IPv4 server.
We split the IPv4 configuration into several separate files, 
(general options; network (subnet, range, pools) definitions; 
hosts definitions with fixed addresses, host definitions used in pools)
included from the main configuration file.
The IPv6 configuration is splitted similarly.
The more static files are rewritten for the IPv6 server (general options and network definitions).
The host definitions are changed frequently. Here we edit the IPv4 version as we do already for years,
and we created a script to generate the IPv6 version from the IPv4 ones.
(Changing fixed-address to fixed-address6. 
It is a pity that fixed-address6 does not allow a DNS name, 
but only a numerical IPv6 address, but this is solved in the script as well.
We have rather simple host definitions, so the script does not need much more.)
We did not yet enable address pools with dynamic addresses for IPv6
because we could not find a way to exclude unknown clients from thise pools.
