They indicate different reasons for taking action, but should the action for IPV4 and IPv6, respectively, be the same for each?

EXPIRE and RELEASE should do the same thing.
To make it easy, I introduced some more variables recently, deffo in 7.0 
so you can do this:

if $if_up; then
	add_stuff
elif $if_down; then
	remove_stuff
fi
