Seems fairly clear-cut. I originally took the DHCPv6 service from the 
DHCP one in FireHOL but a close reading of the RFC shows that the
source ports are not fixed in DHCPv6 as they were originally.

I have updated the FireHOL service definition and I would be grateful if
you could give it a go from the latest build:
   http://firehol.org/download/unsigned/master/

and let me know how you get on.

Thanks
