Perhaps my brain isn't quite working correctly from being ill lately, 
but does anyone know why dhcpd is unable to operate on both IPv4 and 
IPv6 at the same time?

To me it would seem like a perfectly natural progression of the 
software, given that many networks are going to want to run dual stack 
IPv4 and IPv6 to help with transitioning.
