> While we could debate whether to allow Server Unicast option in a Reconfigure message itself, I think it best not to do this as it could be a security risk (though perhaps it is marginal if the attacker already knows the nonce). But that would be a change over the existing specification as best I can determine.

Another option would be to require the client to honor the “Server Unicast” option from the transaction to which the Reconfigure applies.
