I read somewhere online that this flag was added in 4.1.1 where I am
using 4.1.ESV-R4-0ubuntu5.6
on Ubuntu 12.04.  I'm guessing this is an older version then.  I wonder if
there are any other options available without having to upgrade?  Why does
it default to LLT?  Is there a way to override this besides this flag?

I agree, the description is misleading.  If DUID-LLT is meant to be
dynamic, who cares if it changes all the time?
