may contain an IPv4 address or an IPv6 address, or both. IPv6 addresses must be bracketed by square brackets thus:
.B --dhcp-host=laptop,[1234::56]
Note that in IPv6 DHCP, the hardware address is not normally available, so a client must be identified by client-id (called client DUID in IPv6-land) or hostname.
IPv6 addresses may contain only the host-identifier part:
.B --dhcp-host=laptop,[::56]
in which case thay act as wildcards in constructed dhcp ranges, with
the appropriate network part inserted.

The special option id:* means "ignore any client-id
and use MAC addresses only." This is useful when a client presents a client-id sometimes
