Re: [dhcwg] PKIX WG new I-D draft: DHCP section review

Hi Ralph and Damien,

thanks for the input, it is very useful. I was trying to take a look
at how to define the options for the example, I picked the ip-address
as, from the man page, you can specify a list of ip-address but it
does not say IPv4 only (although there is an ipv6-address...).

Shall I use the domain-list data type as specified in RFC 3361 section
3.1 instead ? Would this be a better encoding ? My idea is to use an
already-existing data-type so it would be easier for PRQP adopters.

Cheers,
Max
