Thanks for your input, IMHO, your patch could be merged with very
little changes. Not sure about the right upstream path but I assume
community changes should go through https://gitlab.isc.org. If you
don't plan to do it yourself, would you mind if I try to get your work
merged upstream?
Regards,
Loic

I don't mind at all. On the contrary. It would be nice to have this
merged.
You may consider the patch MPL-2.0 licensed like the rest of isc-dhcp,
if that's important to anyone.
