NTP Server Option for DHCPv6 (option 56)

[Mironov, Ivan]

Ted,

Yes, this is customer requirement to support the DHCPv6 NTP Server 
Option. In final scenario server will be placed in customer 
environment. So, I don't have its config now.
That's why I'm trying to setup my local environment with local DHCP 
server.
