Ouch. And I assumed that the v4 failover protocol would seamlessly
port to v6.

The DHCP server should give less bizarre error messages in that case.

What is the recommended way to get DHCP redundancy for IPv6? Disjoint
ranges with the price of clients changing IP addresses in case of DHCP
server failure?
