I'm not that interested in v6 only, I'm after requiring DHCPv6 and
disallowing SLAAC, which clients can use IPv6 then?
List afaik:
Can:
Windows Vista/Win7 (default)
Linux (with non-default software)
*BSD (with non-default software)
Probably:
OSX (with non-default software)
Can't:
Windows XP
Don't know:
Symbian
Android
Apple iOS
