If I understand correctly, this says that before 3.0.5b1, you could use 
this:

   host host6 { hardware ethernet 00:12:3F:7C:B7:29; fixed-address 
10.128.137.78; }
   host host6b { hardware ethernet 00:12:3F:7C:B7:29; fixed-address 
10.128.55.79; }
   host host6c { hardware ethernet 00:12:3F:7C:B7:29; fixed-address 
10.128.55.44; }

In 3.0.5b1, you would need to use this:

   host host6 { hardware ethernet 00:12:3F:7C:B7:29; fixed-address 
10.128.137.78,10.128.55.79,10.128.55.44; }

Is this right?  If so, it'll generate some reengineering work for us.
