Isn't this what DHC already does? I.e., you run DHCP on two interfaces, and get conflicting information. The existing DHCP specs are silent on this, and the DHC WG has never been willing to specify how to handle this case. The case of getting conflicting DNS configuration information via DHC seems a realistic scenario to me. How do you propose this get handled? Are you proposing we solve it for the DHC/RA case, but not for the DHC/DHC case?
