Dear Maintainer,

Hi,

I was wondering why the DHCP server still binds to the IPv6 address,
too.

I have two internal IPv4 addresses on the eth0 and eth0:0 interface and
one IPv6 address.
------------
root@pdns:/etc/default# cat /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server
# Defaults for dhcp initscript
# sourced by /etc/init.d/dhcp
# installed at /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server by the maintainer scripts

#
# This is a POSIX shell fragment
#

# On what interfaces should the DHCP server (dhcpd) serve DHCP requests?
#       Separate multiple interfaces with spaces, e.g. "eth0 eth1".
INTERFACESv4="eth0 eth0:0"
OPTIONS="-4"
-------------------

root@pdns:/etc/default# lsof -i -P|grep dhcp
dhcpd   1479     root    8u  IPv4  20538      0t0  UDP *:67
dhcpd   1479     root   20u  IPv4  20522      0t0  UDP *:59311
dhcpd   1479     root   21u  IPv6  20523      0t0  UDP *:61725

Why does it bind to the IPv6 address. And why does it need a second IPv4
binding to Port 59311

---------
root@pdns:/etc/default# ps awux|grep dhcpd
root      1479  0.0  0.2  14212  9708 ?        Ss   18:30   0:00
/usr/sbin/dhcpd -q -4 -cf /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf -pf /var/run/dhcpd.pid
---------

I am little bit puzzled about that behavior. Is it a bug or a 'feature'
i didn't recognize in the man pages.

Greetings and thanks,
Tobias
