Help with DHCPv6 client-identifiers

[scott_stone at trendmicro.com]

I'm having a lot of trouble finding relevant information on this online, so I'm going to ask you guys.. :)

 

I have several thousand machines receiving static host reservations with DHCPv4 currently.  ie, 

 

host myhostname.domainname {

               hardware ethernet 00:50:56:DE:AD:BE;

               fixed-address 10.0.0.1;

               option host-name "myhostname.domainname";

}

 

... simple, right?  OK, now we want to use DHCPv6 as well as DHCPv4.  It seems that the dhcp client identifiers for DHCPv6 are *arbitrary*.  Is there no way to know ahead of time what they would be, since they're not mapped to anything uniquely identifiable on the machine (ie, MAC address)?  Do I need to have someone manually investigate all of these hosts to find their client identifiers or is there something I'm missing here...?
