Details - We want to use Prefix Delegation in a large layer3 mesh network. Currently odhcpd only supports DHCPv6-Relay by forwarding the incoming request to the master interface with multicast all-routers-destination address.

In a mesh network we do not have master/uplink interfaces. But we have the IP of the DHCP server which is X hops away and the routing protocol knows which way to send the packet.

Is it possible to add dhcp relay via unicast? An additional config parameter for the IP of the DHCP server is then also needed.
