Yes, I do have two config files, but only for comparison/testing purposes. I actually only need DHCPv6, but because I couldn't get it to work, I wanted to see if I could get it to work with IPv4 (which I can). So when I use the IPv4 config file, I run dhcpd with -4 and when I run the IPv6 config file I run dhcpd with -6. So when you say you have both IPv4 and 6 running on the same server, do you mean two instances of dhcpd on the same server? It was my understanding that you can't run the same instance of dhcpd for both IPv4 and 6. The man page seems to indicate this:

    -4     Run as a DHCP server. This is the default and cannot be combined with -6.
    -6     Run as a DHCPv6 server. This cannot be combined with -4.

I'll give this option a try, thanks.
