Hello,

Your reply was helpful. Instead of using TXT records, I simply created 
two new dhcp options to store what I needed. This is much simpler and 
works like a charm :

# Declared globally
option cache-ipv4 code 190 = text;
option cache-mac code 191 = text;

# Declared in the subnet
set cache-ipv4 = binary-to-ascii(10, 8, ".", leased-address);
set cache-mac = binary-to-ascii(16, 8, ":", substring(hardware, 1, 6));

on expiry {
         execute (
                 "/usr/local/bin/ddns-ipv6",
                 prefix,
                 "-d",
                 ddns-hostname,
                 cache-mac,
                 cache-ipv4
         );
}

Thanks!

Nicolas
