Package: wide-dhcpv6-server
Version: 20080615-12
Severity: normal

Hello,

The issue: After a client sends an information-request message, the server 
replies not from port 547, but from a random UDP port.
I'm not sure if it's really a bug and I don't know what the standard says about 
this, but, at least, the dibbler-server does reply from UDP port 547.

I've installed the 20080615-12 version, by downloading the unstable sources of 
wide-dhcpv6 and compiling them on my wheezy machine, for the fixes related to 
the wide-dhcpv6-client.
There's no improvement when using the stable, official build.



Content of my /etc/wide-dhcpv6/dhcp6s.conf:

option domain-name-servers 2a02:2f0c:8000:3::1 2a02:2f0c:8000:8::1;


Content of my /etc/default/wide-dhcpv6-server:

INTERFACES="eth0"
