Technical Summary
 
   A node may have support for communications using IPv4 and/or IPv6
   protocols.  Such a node may wish to obtain IPv4 and/or IPv6
   configuration settings via the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
   (DHCP).  The original version of DHCP [1] designed for IPv4 has now
   been complemented by a new DHCPv6 [4] for IPv6.  This document
   describes issues identified with dual IP version DHCP interactions,
   the most important aspect of which is how to handle potential
   problems in clients processing configuration information received
   from both DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 servers.  The document makes a
   recommendation on the general strategy on how best to handle such
   issues, and identifies future work to be undertaken.
