This is a non-problem.   If the protocols are different between v4 and 
v6, they're different protocols, and shouldn't be represented by the 
same DHCPv6 option anyway.   So the solution is to treat them that way. 
   Practically speaking, if you have a dual-stack client, you're going 
to configure it with DHCPv4 and DHCPv6, so you can get your NISv4 
address from DHCPv4.   The way to write this in a standard if we 
decided to would simply be that the IP addresses for equivalent servers 
provided by DHCPv6 supersede those provided by DHCPv4.   NISv4 and 
NISv6 aren't equivalent, so there's no problem.
