Btw why are you using the ia_pd_mix flag? I thought that didn't work for
Comcast?
Uh, Comcast never responded to me but they seem to have quietly fixed
their shit.
I put a "polite screed" on their forums a couple of weeks back that
discussed the RFC and pointed them to this mailing list.

The tcpdump I just performed on a restart of dhcpcd shows the RFC-ishly
correct single packet response instead of the previous multi-packet
nonsense.
So, while a direct response would have been nice, the proper function is
a happy enough outcome for me.
This now works with ia_pd_mix. But I now have no way to test the port
alias code.
