Hey, I was not apologizing. I was just informing that this issue is not 
left on its own and that I'm doing something about it. It's a good 
practice to let users know that they are not left alone with their 
problems, right?

A day later, here it is. A fixed version in the CVS. You can also grab a 
snapshot from here: 
http://klub.com.pl/dhcpv6/snapshots/2007-05-03-different-prefixes-for-several-clients/

It works with the reported conf file. As I said before, border cases (when 
the resources are almost depleted, as in assigned 2 prefixes out ot 2 
available) are not handled very well. I must check what will happen when 
third client ask for a prefix. Server will probably go into infinite loop 
as there is no way to randomize free (no used) prefix.

I've fixed it, more or less. It does not work as I'd like it to, but it's 
usable.

Prefix delegation support is rather new feature, so it contains more bugs 
than other dibbler code. But I think that it is now stable enough to be 
released.

Yes, It has been merged.

Let me know if this fix works for you or not.
