Arbitrary DDNS removal after DHCPv6 renew

All,

I've found an interesting issue.  Just before the weekend, I brought
up a CentOS 6.2 box (kelutral), which was assigned IPv4 and IPv6
addresses by the DHCP server (v4.2.3) along with dynamic DNS entries
for each.  However, over the weekend, the DHCPv6 server inexplicably
deleted the DDNS entries after kelutral attempted to renew its IPv6
address:

(fe80::224:8cff:fe9d:471e is kelutral's link-local address)

The address hasn't changed; as of this morning it's still
2001:470:1f07:2f0::224.  The machine was up all weekend; why would the
DHCP server have dropped the DDNS entry?

Thanks,
