Hi Ole,

Yes, but since this is a different process running, how does it know 
that option was returned and how does it get the value?  The DHCP client 
hopefully put it somewhere I would hope.  I'd have to ask the cloud-init 
developers what they think, I was thinking a well-known IPv6 address 
would be received better.

Thanks!
