'reject' list in the ISC DHCPv6 client

Hi,

here comes a little feature request for the ISC DHCPv6 client:

in the DHCPv4 client, it is possible to blacklist one or more DHCP
server with the 'reject' statement.

We see CPE equipment being rolled out that has a DHCPv6 server enabled
that cannot be disabled by the user/owner. This is problematic if there
is a full featured ISC DHCP server deployed, but the CPE is answering
faster.

It would be useful to have a similar 'reject' feature that is available
already for DHCPv4 in DHCPv6 (a list of IPv6 addresses from where DHCPv6
responses should be ignored by the ISC DHCPv6 client).

Best regards

Carsten Strotmann
