Best to just always have the nodes to DAD. The cost of a DAD message is pretty low. I'm only recommending this on Ethernet-like networks. If you have a low-bandwidth network or don't have a shared media, your physical link layer documents may specify not to do DAD.

Yes, the server would have to tell nodes to do DAD until all the leases from before the reboot have expired. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
