Aside from the obvious step of creating a separate /etc/dhcp/dhcpd6.conf (or similar dhcpd + 6 combination), /etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcpd6, and /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd6, I created /usr/sbin/dhcpd6 as a symlink to dhcpd, so that the init.d functions can keep straight which dhcpd is which. I put -6 in the arguments of the init.d script; I know someone else put it in the sysconfig DHCPDARGS (or DHCPD6ARGS as I called it). Either way seems to work pretty well, if you want to make it capable of running both ways from an only-slightly modified install. Alternatively, you could make a small subpackage for the IPv6 setup. - -- J.
