Probably the most expedient way to handle this would be to create a confirm, sign and encrypt it, and then wrap it the same way we wrap relay messages, including it in an information-request as in the regular IR/Solicit/Confirm process for secure DHCP.

The server on the local wire either supports the wrapping and can decrypt, supports it but cannot decrypt, or doesn't support it and hence ignores it.   This allows the client to send a single packet that will always elicit a response, either an answer to the question asked in the Information request, or else a confirmation that it's okay to continue using the address.

The hard question is, what do you do if you get an answer to the information request, rather than to the Confirm?   But I think that's straightforward: you wait a (short) while to see if you get an answer to the confirm; if you do, you take that; otherwise you take the answer from the Information-Request.
