Yes, there is, and it's the IAID. I tried for weeks to make this work and could 
not.

If you have a reservation for an IPv6 address for a host and the host connects 
using one interface, the address will be leased to that host using the 
combination of its DUID and IAID. If it then connects using the other 
interface, its attempt to obtain the same address will fail because the IP is 
already leased to the previous IAID, so it will get a random address from the 
pool (if there is one).

The result of my previous effort (and others who tried the same thing) was the 
open feature request for reservations to not generate leases at all, so that 
hosts can get the same address even if a non-critical portion of the host's 
identity (IAID in this case) changes.
