Requesting a lease time in dhclient6.conf

[Joseph Bernard]

I just gave myself a crash corse in DHCP options, so some of this may be wrong.  dhcp-lease-time corresponds to option 51 for DHCPv4 as defined in the common/tables.c file of the ISC DHCP source code.  The DHCPv4 spec defines option 51 as "Address Time".  For DHCPv6, the options aren't the same.  As far as I can tell, there is no DHCPv6 equivalent option for "Address Time".  This might change in the future.  Here are the links I used to figure this out:

Thanks,
Joseph B.
